Analysis of Baby Underwear Design _ Guangzhou Institute of Underwear Design

With the improvement of people's living standards, babies have become more and more important consumer groups. Underwear is the "second skin" close to the human body. Choosing the right underwear will create a comfortable environment for the human body, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the baby, which is especially important for the baby who has no actual purchasing power and can't express his likes and dislikes in words. Therefore, when designing baby underwear, we must consider it more comprehensively and avoid the arbitrary design of adults. In the design process, we should not only consider the aesthetic and psychological characteristics of parents, but also consider the baby's own physiological characteristics. In a word, the principles of baby underwear design are comfort, safety, hygiene and health.

1 Physiological characteristics of infants

Babies lack the ability to regulate body temperature, sweat easily, excrete more times, have particularly delicate skin, and have poor heat dissipation and heat preservation functions. They belong to a special group that does not have the ability of self-care and self-protection, and are in a static period.

2 fabric design of baby underwear

The comfort and health care performance of fabric are related to the adjustment of climate in clothing, that is, to the adjustment of heat and humidity in clothing. Therefore, the comfort and health care function of baby underwear must be paid special attention to in fabric design. Therefore, the fabric is required to be soft, light, elastic, moisture-absorbing, warm and breathable, which can not only make people feel comfortable after wearing, but also absorb dirt on the skin and not stick to the body after absorbing sweat. At the same time, the dyed materials on the fabric must not irritate the baby's skin, and have the properties of washing resistance, sun resistance, mildew resistance and bacteria prevention. The performance of fabric is mainly the comprehensive embodiment of fiber performance and fabric performance.

2. 1 optical fiber design

It is best to choose moisture-absorbing, breathable and soft natural fibers for baby underwear, of which pure cotton is the most suitable. Synthetic fibers and woolen fabrics sometimes irritate the skin and easily cause allergic reactions, so use them as little as possible. Of course, with the development of high-tech fiber technology, the development of functional fiber is also accelerating. For example: superfine fiber, ceramic fiber and biodegradable synthetic fiber. These fibers play a certain role in antibacterial, nourishing skin and improving comfort, so modified natural fibers, green fibers and functional fibers will be more and more used in the design of baby underwear.

2.2 Fabric design

Most baby underwear fabrics are knitted fabrics in fabric design. Because the knitted fabric is formed by the mutual penetration of terry, it has good elasticity, extensibility and breathability. At the same time, the terry structure can store more air and keep warm, which makes the baby wear more soft and comfortable, breathable and warm, and convenient to put on and take off.

When designing baby underwear in spring and autumn, knitted rib cotton cloth and knitted cotton wool cloth can be used as fabrics; Knitted undershirt can be used as fabric when designing summer baby underwear; When designing baby underwear in winter, the fabric can be knitted cotton wool cloth, towel cloth and knitted flannel.

3 color design of baby underwear

The baby's visual nerve has not developed well, so it is best to use white or light color for baby underwear, not too bright and dazzling. This can minimize the harm that various dyes may bring to the baby, and also help to find some abnormal situations. At the same time, white and light colors can also stabilize the baby's mood. However, judging from the significance of baby's color vision cultivation and enlightenment education, baby underwear should not choose a single white color, but should choose a light pink color system according to the baby's gender and parents' preferences, such as the combination of light blue and pure white, which can remind people of refreshing blue sky, blue sea and white sails, while warm colors and flower patterns such as pink and light yellow place parents' hopes for their children's flower-like future.

Considering the fabric and color, the new green fiber colored cotton knitted fabric can be used in the design of baby underwear. It can not only avoid the stimulation of dyes on baby's delicate skin, but also meet parents' requirements for color.

4 baby underwear style design

The design of baby underwear should pay attention to comfort and safety, focusing on simplicity and convenience to avoid triviality. On the one hand, the baby should be comfortable and healthy, on the other hand, it should be convenient for parents to put on and take off.

In the design of baby underwear, we should not only consider the efficacy of different kinds of baby underwear, but also consider the seasons suitable for babies to wear. It is best to design the coat as collarless. Collarless design will not make clothes rub against the baby's neck and cause uncomfortable phenomena such as skin redness. At the same time, it is easy to sweat, and it is also convenient for parents to scrub their baby's neck. Of course, the neckline in winter should be as narrow as possible and as high as possible according to the season of wearing, so as to keep warm; Summer should be reduced and increased as much as possible to facilitate breathing. Cuff and trouser leg can be designed into wide mouth and rib mouth according to different seasons. The best design of underwear in summer is wide mouth, and the best design of underwear in winter is rib mouth, because rib mouth is elastic, convenient to wear and keep warm.

4. 1 Pian "Sangyi"

The "monk's clothing" shown in figure 1 is waist-tied, which is convenient to put on and take off on the one hand, and can relax the chest circumference as the baby grows up on the other hand; The baby's stomach is delicate, and the overlapping design of the abdomen can protect the baby from catching cold. It can be considered that the design is long at the front and short at the back to avoid polluting the back of underwear.

4.2 Collarless jumpsuit

As shown in Figure 2, the upper body opening of the collarless jumpsuit is designed at the front side, and the lower body opening is designed at the inner side of the trouser leg, which is both warm and convenient for changing diapers, and it is safer to use the new buttonless opening.

4.3 leggings

As shown in Figure 3, this design helps to keep the baby's feet warm, because it is very important to keep the baby's feet warm, and the baby's feet are constantly moving, so the underwear design can prevent the baby's socks from falling off.

It can be seen that baby underwear is best designed as "monk's clothes", collarless jumpsuits, jumpsuits and so on.

Structure and process design of baby underwear

Because the baby's skin is particularly delicate, we should try to avoid too many dividing lines in structural design and reduce the friction between seams and the baby's delicate skin. For T-shirts, the opening should be designed as a shoulder opening as far as possible. In the design of sewing process, we should pay attention to high safety and comfort, and the sewing edge must be fine and smooth, and it is not suitable to fold the back and sew thick lines. Because the rough and thick sewing edge is easy to scratch the baby's skin, especially the armpit, neckline, wrist and other parts. Therefore, try to reduce sewing edges or seamless edges in the processing of sewing technology. For example, all or part of the seams of underwear can be turned out to the front or seamless sewing technology can be used to produce baby underwear, which can avoid too many seams and reduce the discomfort of baby underwear.

6 concluding remarks

The mainstream of clothing in the new century is green, healthy and comfortable, especially for babies with delicate skin, the design of underwear is very important, and the comfort, safety and hygiene of wearing should be considered. With the application of new fabrics, new technologies and new processes in design, baby underwear is developing towards environmental protection, health and comfort.
