Abstract
Personalized garment design and virtual assembly application of a garment is one of the most important goals for almost all textile companies. Aligning the designing of dress on the virtual garment with the feature points of the human body and can be considered as a success factor. For this reason, it is best solution to measure the human body and to find the dimensions and to produce tailor made garment according to sizing of body. Clothing sizes have been a challenge for the apparel industry. This is because, difficulties arising from to find the right size when purchasing an outfit. Customers are often disappointed with their product deliveries, causing them to be disappointed and less likely to buy clothes online. Increased returns and reduced customer loyalty have negative effects on profit margins. Considering the fit dress problem, it is necessary to create a body database that every company can use. The sensible solution of this problem is to create a common digital body library. The aim of Digital-body (avatar) library is an ongoing process from measuring the customer's body to dressing according to the customization garment, and dramatically to reduce return rates due to non-fitting dresses over internet sales. It is needed a redesign for the sizing system, and it will be new paradigm shift in tailor made production for apparel industry system and to thrive the appeal industry. Digital Body Library will affect the dress which every sale in the future.
