Investigating the impact of body shape on garment fit

Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management: An International Journal, 2023
PurposeBody shape is a critical variable influencing consumers' garment choices (Zakaria, 2017), yet research investigating how UK females with varying body shapes evaluate and experience fit is limited. Moreover, while digital methods exist to classify female body shapes, application in a commercial setting is limited.

Breast support garments are ineffective at reducing breast motion during an aqua aerobics jumping exercise [PDF]

, 2015
The buoyant forces of water during aquatic exercise may provide a form of ‘natural’ breast support and help to minimise breast motion and alleviate exercise induced breast pain. Six larger-breasted females performed standing vertical land and water-based
