A cross-cultural research project was conducted to acquire a comprehensive understanding of 34- to 55-year-old mature women's ready-to-wear clothing choices in relation to their body image, appearance management strategies, and attitudes toward 3D technology. To be specific, it aimed to address three research questions: (a) What were the interactions among women's physical body, perceived body in mind, and appearance management strategies?; (b) How is the relationship among women's physical body, perceived body in mind, and projection of self revealed by their wardrobe management practices?; and (c) How do mature women without training experience practice clothing fit evaluation in both real and virtual environments? It was completed in three stages, including a survey study, a wardrobe study, and a simulated fitting room and 3D virtual fitting experiment. Two groups of women living in two different cultures, namely the American and Chinese cultures, were recruited.

520 $a A cross-cultural research project was conducted to acquire a comprehensive understanding of 34- to 55-year-old mature women's ready-to-wear clothing choices in relation to their body image, appearance management strategies, and attitudes toward 3D technology. To be specific, it aimed to address three research questions: (a) What were the interactions among women's physical body, perceived body in mind, and appearance management strategies?; (b) How is the relationship among women's physical body, perceived body in mind, and projection of self revealed by their wardrobe management practices?; and (c) How do mature women without training experience practice clothing fit evaluation in both real and virtual environments? It was completed in three stages, including a survey study, a wardrobe study, and a simulated fitting room and 3D virtual fitting experiment. Two groups of women living in two different cultures, namely the American and Chinese cultures, were recruited.
520 $a First, it was found that mature women's mental perceptions of their physical body and how closely such perceptions were related to their ideal physical body strongly influenced their appearance management behaviors, including their choice and use of ready-to-wear clothing. Second, those mature women's wardrobe management practices, especially their daily practices of dressing, were closely related to their mental perceptions, evaluations, and feelings of their physical body, personal preferences, self-identities, as well as their existing wardrobe. In addition, different issues about the apparel industry in these two countries were identified. Moreover, both the American and Chinese participants, particularly the American group, reported difficulties in fit evaluation. Their understanding of clothing fit was found to be deviated from that of professionals, and the language they used to describe fit issues was very limited. Last, both the American and Chinese participants reported the potential of 3D technology, particularly in an online setting after they experienced 3D technology. However, they also indicated concerns with the 3D technology, and expressed a lack of confidence in the ability of virtual fit to show the actual fit of garments.
