Consumers are getting more and more conscious about their clothing with each passing day. Everyone needs clothes of personalized design, fit, and color. The existing mass production system is not capable of handling this problem. Mass customization is a solution to this problem. This paper presents a new method of personalized ease allowance calculation using a fuzzy logic model. The model takes into account both the fabric properties and body morphology. The study is focused on a single product, namely,. loose fitting ladies trousers. Draping technique is used to determine the personalized ease allowance. Three fuzzy logic models are designed to calculate the ease allowance on three difference parts of the garment.
