[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] A casual suit that combines the feel of a shirt with a slightly dropped shoulder structure, Figures 1-7As shown, the shirt includes: a front bodice 11, a back bodice 12, sleeves 2, and a collar assembly 3. The collar assembly 3 includes a collar stand 31 and a lapel 32. The lower edge of the collar stand 31 is sewn to the collar formed by the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12. The height 'a' of the collar stand 31 is 2-2.5cm, and the radius 'r1' of the arc at the neck side of the collar stand 31 is 7-7.5cm. The width 'h' of the lapel 32 is 4.5cm. The angle 'α' between the outer edge 33 (also called the upper edge of the collar) where the lapel 32 and the collar meet and the arc 34 (also called the neckline) is 135°-140°. The inner edge of the lapel 32 and the collar stand 31 are sewn together with a loose allowance 'b' of 0.3-0.5cm. This application, by setting the collar assembly 3 and controlling the dimensions of its collar stand 31 and lapel 32, makes the shirt collar more suitable for the needs of casual suits. The lower, flatter collar seat 31 structure of this application conforms to the natural curvature of the neck, reducing neck pressure; combined with the increased docking angle and looseness allowance, it ensures that the collar of the casual suit stands upright and has a slim "shirt feel" after wearing.
[0028] Preferably, the height 'a' of the collar stand 31 is 2.3 cm, the radius of curvature 'r1' of the collar stand 31 at the neck side is 7.2 cm, the angle 'α' between the outer edge of the lapel 32 and the collar opening and the collar opening curve is 138°, and the inner edge of the lapel 32 and collar stand 31 is provided with a 0.4 cm looseness allowance 'b'. The radius of curvature 'r1' of the collar stand 31 at the neck side in this application is more than 2 cm larger than the 5 cm of traditional suits, which better adapts to the natural curvature of the neck, making the shirt collar both comfortable and structured when applied to suits. The looseness allowance 'b' (movement allowance) reserved at the inner edge of the lapel 32 ensures the flexibility of the lapel 32, thereby adapting to differences in neck thickness.
[0029] Preferably, the shoulder line endpoints of the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12 are offset by 1.5-2cm towards the armhole relative to the standard human shoulder line endpoint, so that the finished shoulder width is increased by 2-2.5cm compared to the actual human shoulder width. This ensures that the connection structure between the sleeve 2 and the bodice formed by the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12 is a slightly dropped shoulder structure, solving the problem of "narrow shoulders making it impossible to wear".
[0030] Preferably, the shoulder line endpoints of the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12 are offset by 1.8cm towards the armhole compared to the standard human shoulder line endpoint. The slightly dropped shoulder structure of this application, combined with the low sleeve cap and large arc radius sleeve design, reduces the sleeve cap allowance and increases the shoulder and sleeve movement space, solving the problem of limited arm movement in traditional suits.
[0031] Preferably, the sleeve cap height of sleeve 2 is 6.5-7cm and the radius of the sleeve cap arc is 11-11.5cm.
[0032] Preferably, the sleeve cap height of sleeve 2 is 6.8cm and the radius of the sleeve cap arc is 11.2cm.
[0033] Preferably, the allowance (matching difference) for the sleeve cap arc length and the armhole arc length of the garment body formed by the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12 is 0.3-0.4cm, and the armhole depth is 1-1.2cm smaller than that of a standard suit armhole.
[0034] Preferably, the allowance for matching the sleeve cap arc length with the armhole arc length of the garment body formed by the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12 is 0.35cm.
[0035] Preferably, a waist-cinching structure is provided at the side seams on both sides of the garment body formed by the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12. The waist-cinching amount on one side of the structure is 0.75-1cm, the starting point c of the waist-cinching arc is located 10-10.5cm below the armpit, and the radius r2 of the waist-cinching arc is 22-23cm. The total waist circumference reduction in this application is designed to be 1.5-2cm, which is 2.5-3.5cm less than the 4-5cm of traditional casual suits. The starting point c of the waist-cinching arc is moved down from 8cm below the armpit to 10-10.5cm. The radius r2 of the waist-cinching arc is also increased by 7-8cm compared to the 15cm of traditional suits. Through the above structural treatment, with a lower and gentler starting point c and radius r2, the restriction on the waist and abdomen is reduced, solving the problem of "a thick waist making one look bulky".
[0036] Preferably, the starting point c of the waist-cinching arc of the waist-cinching structure is located 10cm below the armpit, and the radius r2 of the waist-cinching arc is 22.5cm.
[0037] Specifically, the garment body formed by the front bodice 11 and the back bodice 12 is equipped with a fully lining structure, which includes: a full lining 41, a pocket lining 42, a facing 43, and a concealed placket 44. The full lining 41 is connected to the garment body through internal fixing points. The pocket lining 42 adopts a structure combining one layer of outer fabric and one layer of pocket fabric, and has a 0.6cm pleated edge around its perimeter. At the intersection of the facing 43 and the concealed placket 44, there is a 0.5cm wide "braid" structure (i.e., a thread braid). This application features high comfort, a tolerant fit, and a crisp shape.
[0038] The steps for making this casual suit are as follows:
[0039] 1. Make the collar components
[0040] Make a collar stand template with a height of 2.3cm and a neck side arc radius of 7.2cm.
[0041] Make a lapel pattern with a width of 4.5cm, and ensure that when it is sewn to the body, the angle between the outer edge of the lapel and the neckline of the body is 138°.
[0042] A 0.4cm allowance is designed as loosening allowance b (movement allowance) on the inner seam line where the lapel and collar stand are sewn together.
[0043] 2. Fabric cutting
[0044] Cut the fabric and lining according to the neckline pattern, front bodice pattern, back bodice pattern, and sleeve pattern.
[0045] The shoulder line endpoints of the front and back bodice patterns should be offset 1.8cm from the standard shoulder line endpoint towards the sleeve side. The sleeve cap height of the sleeve pattern should be 6.8cm, and the sleeve cap arc radius should be 11.2cm. The waist-cinching starting point of the side seam of the bodice should be 10cm below the armpit, and the waist-cinching arc radius should be 22.5cm.
[0046] 3. Optimize waist and abdomen design
[0047] Sew the shoulder seams of the front and back bodice pieces together. Then, sew the side seams of the bodice, starting 10cm below the armpit, and tape the waist along an arc with a radius of 22.5cm.
[0048] Through a systematic and innovative design of the collar, lapel, shoulder sleeves, and waist pattern, a comfortable silhouette for the garment is ensured during the pattern-making stage. Compared with traditional suit patterns, this integrated pattern-making system directly solves the pattern problems of "narrow shoulders making it impossible to wear and thick waist making it look bulky," and lays the foundation for simplifying subsequent sewing processes.
[0049] 4. Construct a slightly dropped shoulder sleeve
[0050] Match the sleeve cap curve of the sleeve piece with the armhole curve of the bodice. Control the length difference between the sleeve cap curve and the armhole curve (i.e., the matching allowance) to be 0.35cm. Then sew the sleeve to the bodice armhole, using the matching allowance to create a uniform sleeve cap ease.
[0051] By precisely controlling the allowance between the sleeve cap and armhole to 0.35cm (far lower than the traditional 0.8cm) and using specialized sleeve-attaching equipment, a smooth transition of the sleeve cap's curve is achieved. This low-absorption process not only reduces sewing difficulty and improves production efficiency, but also ensures that the shoulder and sleeve area is smooth and wrinkle-free in appearance and allows for free movement in function.
[0052] 5. Collar component fabrication and assembly
[0053] Join the lapel and collar stand along the seam edge, ensuring that the 0.4cm ease allowance inside the lapel is evenly distributed. Then, sew the assembled collar assembly to the neckline of the garment body, ensuring that after the lapel is turned outward, its outer edge forms a 138° opening angle with the garment body.
[0054] 6. Make the full lining
[0055] The inner pocket lining uses a combination of one layer of outer fabric and one layer of pocket fabric. Its front end needs to be folded inwards for security, and the edges are hemmed with a 0.6cm hem. At the junction of the facing and the piping, a 0.5cm wide "braid" detail is required. The inner concealed placket requires strict craftsmanship; the concealed tag must be fixed with stitching, penetrating the facing to the top. The upper inner fabric has a 4.5cm fixed section, and a 1.0cm long, opaque knot is tied at the concealed tag for reinforcement.
[0056] The overall edge treatment follows specifications, with a single-line hem 0.15cm from the edge, while the hem uses a 3.0cm wide triple-fold hem and is finished with stitching. The completed full lining is then combined with the fabric body fabric completed in the above steps, connected through internal fixing points to ensure the garment is crisp without affecting the fabric's freedom of movement.
[0057] The collar assembly and the fully lined structure work together, with the inner collar opening offering room for movement to ensure comfort, while the full lining ensures that the garment maintains the crisp shape of a suit, even when using softer, lighter fabrics. This structural design gives the finished product both the "suit silhouette" and the "shirt feel".
[0058] 7. Final Integration
[0059] After finishing processes such as buttoning, overlocking, and pressing, the finished casual suit is completed.
[0060] The M-size casual suit produced using the method disclosed in this embodiment, after testing and evaluation, yielded the following results: the finished product weighs 485 grams, approximately 25% lighter than traditional similar products (approximately 650 grams); tests on wearers of different body types showed a good fit from XS to XXL sizes, expanding the range of body fit by approximately 50%; wearers reported approximately 30% more shoulder and arm movement space, significantly reduced neck pressure, and no tightness in the waist and abdomen during daily activities; simultaneously, due to pattern optimization and process simplification, the overall sewing process was reduced by approximately 15%, effectively improving production efficiency.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
