Professor Haruki Imaoka (Faculty of Education, Mie University, Japan) and professor Tomoe Masuda (Faculty of Human Life and Environment, Nara Women’s University, Japan) have, between them, created a Classification of Tight-Fitting Bodice Patterns of Young Women Using Concentrated Gaussian Curvature.
