Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing, and in particular to a method for maintaining the shape of clothing by dart collection. Background Art

[0002] Darting refers to the process of folding and sewing away the excess material between the fabric and the body. Darting is done to help the garment fit more closely to the body, achieving a slimming effect and highlighting the body's curves. By sewing in excess darts, the garment becomes more three-dimensional and conforms to the body, flattering the figure.

[0003] Darting is a crucial step in garment production. Through appropriate dart design and application of appropriate techniques, garments can be made to fit more accurately and aesthetically, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics. There are various methods for darting, including darts with dart tips at both ends and darts with dart tips at only one end.

[0004] The darts on clothing are prone to dimples and unevenness, and the shape retention time is too short. When the weather becomes humid, the fabric rebounds, causing the darts to be uneven and wrinkled. This is especially true for darts made of single-layer fabrics, where the rebound is more serious, affecting the appearance quality of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a method for maintaining the shape of darts at the darts on clothing, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that darts at the darts on clothing are prone to dimples and unevenness, thereby improving the appearance quality of the product.

[0006] The present invention provides a method for maintaining the shape of garments by dart collection, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: Determine the positions of the darts on the top and bottom of the garment according to the design of the garment and the structure of the human body, and determine the sizes of each dart;

[0008] S2: according to the position and size of the dart, the garment pieces of the top or bottom are placed facing each other along the dart edge line, folded in half along the dart center line, and sewn from the dart root to the dart tip;

[0009] Before dart-closing the jacket, a woven interlining and a wide cotton strip are sequentially attached to the dart tip on the back of the jacket, and when dart-closing the jacket, the woven interlining and the wide cotton strip are sewn simultaneously along the dart seam. After sewing, the wide cotton strip is cut flush along the dart tip, and the portion of the wide cotton strip covering the dart seam is folded along the dart seam, and the jacket is ironed.

[0010] When sewing the darts on the bottom garment, an excess thread is left at the dart tip; after the darts are sewn and ironed, a woven lining is added, and after the darts are closed, the garment is ironed flat;

[0011] S3: Press and shape the garment pieces of the top or bottom garment with the darts gathered at high temperature to complete the dart gathering of the garment.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: the flattening and shape-keeping method solves the problem of dart points on top garments by using a first woven interlining and a wide cotton strip to keep the garment flat, and solves the problem of dart points on bottom garments by using a surplus thread and a second woven interlining, thereby effectively solving the problems of dimples on dart points, unevenness, and shrinkage caused by moisture when the garment is gathered, achieving a long-term shape-keeping and flattening effect, and improving the appearance quality and grade of the product.

[0013] Based on the above embodiments, the present application can be further improved as follows:

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the bust dart size of the top in step S1 is ≤5cm, the shoulder dart size is ≤2cm, and the waist dart size of the bottom is ≤4cm. The dart size should not be too large to avoid affecting the appearance.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, in step S2, the first woven interlining is a 35g thin woven interlining, the adhesive side of the first woven interlining facing the garment body, covering the dart point, and the wide cotton strip is arranged along the dart seam and covering the dart point. The first woven interlining is square and large in area, while the wide cotton strip is long and extends beyond the scope of the first woven interlining and is arranged along the dart seam. The square woven interlining provides overall shape retention in a large area near the dart point, while the long wide cotton strip provides key protection for the dart seam and dart point. The combination of the two ensures long-term flatness and shape retention of the garment, without dimples or shrinkage.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, in step S2, the size of the woven interlining is 5cm*5cm, and the size of the wide cotton cloth strip is 6cm*2.5cm.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present application, in step S2, the dart edge of the dart on the bottom garment is a straight line near the dart root and a convex arc near the dart tip. The convex arc has a height of 0.1-0.2 cm and extends to the dart tip. The convex arc is drawn using prefabricated clean pattern points. This arrangement also effectively maintains the shape of ordinary fabrics, preventing dimples and shrinkage. In particular, for wool or wool-polyester fabrics, the convex arc reduces the force of the dart, reduces the difficulty of sewing, and effectively prevents wrinkles and dimples at the waist dart tip.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present application, in step S2, the second woven interlining is a 35g thin woven interlining, which is circular and 5cm in diameter. The adhesive surface of the second woven interlining faces the garment body and covers the dart point, thereby maintaining the overall shape of the area around the dart point.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present application, in step S2, the length of the remaining thread is 0.5-0.7 cm. By setting the remaining thread, thread derailment and wrinkling can be avoided.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present application, in step S3, the high-temperature pressing and shaping process is performed at a temperature of 130-150°C, a pressure of 5-6N, and a time of 2-4 seconds. After the pressing and shaping process is completed with these parameters, the garment will not deform or wrinkle easily even after prolonged wear, multiple washings, or exposure to moisture, and will retain its shape for a long time.

[0021] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0022] 1. This flattening and shape-retaining method solves the problem of dart points on top garments by using a first woven interlining and a wide cotton strip to flatten and shape-retain. It also solves the problem of dart points on bottom garments by using a second woven interlining. This effectively solves the problems of dimpling, unevenness, and shrinkage caused by moisture when the garment is gathered. It achieves a long-term flattening effect and improves the product's appearance quality and grade.

[0023] 2. The square woven interlining of this flat-fitting shape-keeping method plays an overall shape-keeping role in a large area near the dart point, while the long wide cotton strips focus on protecting the dart seam and dart point. The two work together to ensure long-term flat-fitting shape without dimples or shrinkage.

[0024] 3. This flat garment shape-keeping method uses an outward convex arc shape to slow down the tapering force, reduce sewing difficulty, and effectively avoid the waist darts, wrinkles, and dimples on the lower garment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, modifications of various equivalent forms of the present invention made by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.

[0037] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical" and "peripheral surface" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships in which the inventive product is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used solely for distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in the present invention, as well as features of different embodiments or examples, without any contradiction.

[0040] like Figure 1 、 2As shown, the dart tips (center position in the figure) of tops and bottoms darted using conventional methods are prone to dimples and unevenness. The shape retention period is too short, and when the weather returns to humidity, the fabric rebounds, causing the dart tips to be uneven and wrinkled. This is especially serious for dart styles with single-layer fabric, which affects the product's appearance. The present invention provides a method for maintaining the shape of darts on garments, solving the problem of dimpling and unevenness in the prior art, thereby improving the product's appearance.

[0041] The technical solution in the embodiments of the present application is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0042] Example:

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, a method for keeping the shape of clothing by dart collection includes the following steps:

[0044] S1: Determine the position of the darts of the top 1 and bottom 2 according to the design of the garment and the structure of the human body, and determine the size of each dart;

[0045] Top 1 typically features bust and shoulder darts, while bottom 2 features waist darts. Dart size includes both length and size, with length determined by design requirements. For top 1, the bust dart size should be ≤5cm, the shoulder dart size should be ≤2cm, and for bottom 2, the waist dart size should be ≤4cm. Darts should be minimally sized to avoid affecting the appearance.

[0046] S2: According to the position and size of each dart, place the top 1 and bottom 2 garment pieces facing each other along the dart edge line 33, fold them in half along the dart center line, and sew from the dart root to the dart tip 31;

[0047] Specifically:

[0048] Take the chest dart of the top 1 as an example. Its dart edge line is a straight line. Before the dart is closed, a woven interlining 4 (35g thin woven interlining with a size of 5cm*5cm, with the adhesive side facing the top) and a wide cotton strip 5 (with a size of 6cm*2.5cm) are sequentially attached to the dart tip 31 on the back of the garment 1. When closing the dart, these are sewn simultaneously along the dart seam 32. After sewing, the wide cotton strip 5 is cut along the dart tip. The part of the wide cotton strip 5 covering the dart seam 32 is folded over along the dart seam 32, and the seams are ironed flat. Figure 4 As shown; some fabrics, such as suits, require the garment to be cut along the center dart line before darting. The woven interlining is square and large in area, while the wide cotton strip is long and extends beyond the woven interlining and is placed along the dart seam. The square woven interlining provides overall shape retention around the dart tip, while the long wide cotton strip provides key protection for the dart seam and dart tip. Together, they ensure a long-lasting, flat, and shape-holding garment, preventing dimples and shrinkage.

[0049] The darts on the rest of the jacket (such as the shoulder darts) are darted in the same manner as described above, with only the interlining and the wide cotton strips being adapted to the size of the darts.

[0050] Take the waist dart of the bottom garment 2 (pants or skirt) as an example. When sewing, the dart tip 31 at the lower end of the dart seam 32 cannot be backstitched. It should be sewn in place at one time, leaving a 0.5-0.7 cm excess thread 6 at the dart tip 31. Figure 5 As shown; after the darts are sewn and ironed, a woven interlining 7 (a 35g thin woven interlining with a diameter of 5cm, with the adhesive side facing the garment) is placed on the garment. After the darts are put away, the garment is ironed flat. Figure 6 As shown; by setting the remaining thread, it can avoid thread unraveling and wrinkling, combined with the circular woven lining with two areas to cover and maintain the shape.

[0051] Among them, especially for wool or wool-polyester fabrics of bottoms, the dart edge line 33 of the waist dart is a straight line near the dart root (occupies about 2 / 3 of the entire dart edge line), and is a convex arc line 34 near the dart tip 31 (occupies about 2 / 3 of the entire dart edge line). The height of the convex arc line 34 is 0.1-0.2 cm, and the convex arc line 34 extends to the dart tip 31. Figure 7 As shown, the convex arc line 34 is drawn using prefabricated points on the net pattern. This arrangement also effectively maintains the shape of waist darts and dart tips on common fabrics, preventing dimples and shrinkage. This is especially true for bottoms made of wool or wool-polyester fabrics, where the dart line lacks a convex arc, making sewing more difficult and wrinkles and dimples difficult to control.

[0052] When ironing the dart, place the garment on a cloth bun to avoid dart marks on the front of the garment. Use an iron to flatten the dart to maintain its shape and the three-dimensional effect of the garment.

[0053] The ironing in step S2 can be performed simply by ironing in a conventional manner.

[0054] S3: Press and shape the darts of the top 1 and bottom 2 with high temperature to complete the darts. Figure 8 、 9 shown.

[0055] High-temperature pressing uses a temperature of 130-150°C, a pressure of 5-6N, and a duration of 2-4 seconds. This ensures that garments retain their shape for a long time, even after prolonged wear, multiple washings, or exposure to moisture.

[0056] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it will be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and are not to be construed as limitations on the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
