Abstract

This study were intend to provide theoretical materials about clothing trend that females in their twenties favor through analysis on how they are aware of their own body according to Rohrer's Index and self-perceived obesity. This study were deal with differences between measured values from Rohrer's Index and self-awareness level regarding obesity. Domestic and overseas information database, network screening, and published data were utilized to obtain the relevant research materials. Closed-ended questions were used for research method. Anthropometry was adopted for assessment of Rohrer's Index. Collected samples were analyzed with PASW 18.0 statistical program. The results show a great difference between real obesity and awareness level among the women in their twenties. Majority of subjects do not know their exact obesity. Most of them even consider themselves as more obese than real. Also, the weight increases as an obesity level increases when compared to height. According to body size against obesity, measured sizes become larger in weight, chest, hip, waist, bust length, and bust point width as obesity increases in relation to both Rohrer Index and self-perceived obesity, indicating that weight and girth size are more influential to self-perception than height in obesity that they feel. In difference of body perception, there appears not much different perception among standard body shape group and obese body shape group as to both Rohrer Index and self-perceived obesity. Unlike this, there appears some difference in slim body shape group's breast, abdomen, and shoulder-waist-hip line as to real obesity and perceived level. For the ideal body shape that they think of, similar level appears in such body shapes as face, silhouette, abdomen, back, hip, and shoulder-waist-hip line in Rohrer Index and self-perceived obesity. However, difference takes place in breast shape, depending on the obesity. Results indicated that there are differences in perceiving the body, implying that differentiation is necessary in developing the female clothing based on obesity, accordingly.
