Innovative approaches to the formation of standard female figures in Kazakhstan to improve the quality of garment products

An analysis of the literature sources has shown the need for the development of information support for CAD systems, based on data from anthropometric studies of the body shapes of Kazakhstani consumers of modern clothing. (Anthropometric characteristics, improvement of size typology, and clothing design methods that take into account the most common body shapes and their individual features in Kazakhstan) with the aim of producing products demanded in the consumer market.Based on measurements of female body shapes in Kazakhstan, mathematical models have been identified that allow the development of classification and determination of the values of leading size characteristics.An analysis of modern size standardization of garments in the global space revealed various data on clothing labeling in different countries, leading to the current issue of harmonization in the field of standardization, i.e., aligning the actions of international, national, and regional quality systems to improve product quality and its competitiveness on a global scale. When developing international standards for products in Kazakhstan, primary attention should be given to establishing unified testing methods as well as requirements for terminology, storage, and transportation, without which mutual understanding between the manufacturer and the consumer is impossible.For the first time, studies aimed at the need to use anthropometric measurements when determining clothing sizes appeared in the early 1930s.Currently, the solution to this problem is focused on the formation of a database for the processes of automated clothing design.
