Regarding ready-made clothing industry, cloth is a product obtained by preparing the selected textile materials by cutting with modified basic patterns according to the model and body characteristics of the user and bringing together by sewing the cut pieces of clothing through optimized workflow. Since the static and dynamic harmony of the clothes with the body is required for wearing comfort, dart-application method is developed for the woven fabric to ensure garment-body fit. Due to the nature of the loop structure, the circular knitted fabrics, which may take the form of the body easily and return to the original form after being removed and laid down for a while, is preferred in various clothing types because of the comfort properties such as softness, handle, stretch, moisture absorption, and warmth. Thus, the aim of this research is to reveal the effect of dart applications, which is regarded as compulsory in garment manufacture from woven fabrics, in circular knitted fabrics on static body-garment fit. To achieve this aim, an experimental pattern of control group post-test was designed. As the control group, a total of three control samples were sewn by applying three types of darts on woven fabric. In the experimental group, a total of twelve garments were obtained by applying three dart types to four types of circular knitted fabrics. After the bust line and center-front line were marked with colored threads on each sample, the experimental-group samples were compared visually with the control-group samples. Findings are discussed and recommendations are presented.
