Aesthetic Correction of the Lapel Cross Issue in Chest-Artless Long Garments from a Semiotic Perspective

This study explores the correction methods for the lapel cross issue in chest-dartless long garments from the perspectives of semiotics and aesthetics. Through experimental methods and semiotic analysis, combined with CAD drawing and mannequin draping experiments, the study analyzes the impact of different dart transfer methods on garment structure and aesthetic effects. It was found that reasonably distributing the dart volume (one-third transferred to the hem, one-third retained at the armhole, and one-third transferred to the neckline) can effectively solve structural imbalance problems and enhance the overall and aesthetic quality of the garment. Semiotic analysis reveals the important role of lapel design in cultural communication and aesthetic expression, providing theoretical support and practical guidance for the design of chest-dartless long garments. The results indicate that a comprehensive design approach combining semiotics and aesthetic optimization can effectively address the lapel cross issue while enhancing the garment’s aesthetic value and cultural significance.
