Seaming and Fit Factors on the Serviceability of Custom-Made Clothing

What is it about?

This study investigated the influence of seaming and fit factors on the serviceability of custom-made clothing among female students in Ghana. The research examined how these factors affect the durability, comfort, and overall performance of custom garments. The findings showed that seaming and fit significantly impact garment serviceability, although many respondents had limited knowledge about seam quality. Despite this, most students reported satisfaction with the seaming and fit of their custom-made clothes, noting that garment manufacturers largely control style choices. The study concluded that manufacturers generally meet customers’ expectations regarding seaming and fit, and recommended that continued attention to these factors is essential to enhance garment serviceability and customer satisfaction.
