    (CCSHAU, 2006) Bala, Saroj; Khambra, Krishna
    The Present study was conducted for Standardization of Paper Patterns of Kurta-Pyjama for Pre-adolescent Boys. During pre-adoloscence phase, the body contour begins to take shape. So clothes of this age group need special care while stitching. Patterns of kurta-pyjama for six chests and six hip girths were made by using standardized anthropometric body measurement (available in the deptt.). 12 foundation paper patterns were prepared by standard drafting technique of size 28” to 33” for kurta and 31” to 36” for pyjama. The foundation paper patterns so prepared were used for cutting and stitching of twelve kurta-pyjamas. Each kurta-pyjama was tried on 10 adolescent respondents having corresponding chest and hip girth. Hence a total of 60 respondents were selected for trial of stitched kurta-pyjama. During trials for reliability assessment of kurta-pyjama it was found that minor changes were observed for all the sizes of kurta-pyjama. On the basis of trials and modified paper patterns, modified kurta-pyjama were again stitched and retried on three respondents of each size (chest and hip). Hence 12 foundation paper patterns were standardized. To Study the opinion of the women regarding paper patterns and drafting techniques, four trainings each of one week duration in cutting and stitching of adoloscent kurta-pyjama were conducted. Two trainings were conducted in Hisar city and two in villages namely Ludas and Kaimari villages of the Hisar district. The women who had knowledge of garment construction were selected for each training. In each group, there were minimum 15 women and in total 60 trainees attended the trainings. Personal profile of the trainees highlighted that maximum (51.6%) trainees were from the age group of 15-25 years and most of them (40.0%) had received education upto middle, majority of the trainees (71.66%) belonged to medium family size and 51.66% of trainees had monthly income in range of Rs. 3001 – 6000/-. The data regarding achievement motivation highlighted that trainees attended the training with major objective ‘self stitching is the best way to utilize old fabric/left over fabric’ (3.0). The data regarding of the trainees (63.3%) had low opinion level for drafting technique whereas majority of the respondents (76.6%) had high opinion level for paper patterns. The trainees also had high opinion about the training as ‘The training has helped trainees to learn easy method of cutting by using paper pattern’ (3.00). The data regarding symbolic adoption for paper patterns was high because of the facts that trainees have no social inhibition for acceptance of paper patterns in the village’ (2.88). From the results it can be concluded that the adoption of paper pattern for kurta-pyjama cutting would be helpful for the women who has low educational level in cutting and stitching of garments.
