Dr. Lisa Barona McRoberts Assistant Professor and Merchandising
on analyzing female figure type silhouettes for the improvement of consumer fit and its possible application to the domestic apparel industry. Recently, I have expanded my expertise in fit to application towards prototype development utilizing the functional design process. The goal is to develop a garment that provides soft structural support to the upper back for the improvement of posture. Interestingly, it has become apparent that posture is a factor that affects garment fit.
My overall research interests include: apparel design, body shape analysis, consumer preferences, consumer satisfaction, product development, functional design, comfort, fit, couture techniques, manufacturer, mass customization, prototype evaluation, and sizing.
