There are relatively few studies on functional and appealing armhole lines of a blouse761, due to the complex shape of the shoulder and armpit. In this study, we investigated the functionality of eight different armhole lines, using human subjects as well as virtual fitting. The primary goal of this study was to determine which armhole line is suitable to the movement of a shoulder joint with an acceptable appearance. Next, we studied whether subtle differences in armhole lines affect the shape of the blouse in 3D virtual space. Finally, we analyzed if the wear test evaluations for mobility matched the corresponding shape deformation observed by the displacement of reference points of the 3D virtual blouse. We observed that the amount of displacement of the reference points as shown by 3D virtual fitting, matched the wearer’s evaluation of the functional aspects of the blouse during shoulder joint movement.
