Communication across the costume design and production process requires that these participants interact with both 2D and 3D representations of costumes in the forms of design drawings, muslin drapes, and prototypes. This qualitative investigation examined integrating three dimensional (3D) apparel simulation into costume design and production to enhance communication. Data were collected in two concurrent phases, (a) interviews with experts (n = 7) and (b) virtual fittings with costume designers (n = 5) and makers (n = 5). A preliminary framework was developed through analysis of expert interview responses. Then, insights from the virtual fittings were integrated to establish the final Costume Design and Production Process Framework (CDPPF). Results clarify opportunities for simulation and virtual fitting in the costume development process and highlight the importance of training and simulation accuracy to successful implementation.Read More
