The silhouette of women’s garment is diversified in its design. In this paper,a new model was developed to predict the silhouette of jacket for the given girth measurements. Sixty-three princess-seam women’s jackets with seven styles and nine girth dimensions of each style were produced. Their ease distribution was investigated at bustline,waistline,and hipline,respectively. The widths of the cross-sections for bustline,waistline,and hipline were formulated by multiple linear regressions. Then the silhouette was captured from the ratio of waist width to bust width of a designed jacket,together with that of waist width to hip width.
