The fashion trends in the future were also prognosticated scientifically. At the same time, a historical database was developed for manufacture and designing, which it is the basement for automatic pattern designing. This new method for fashion trend research was introduced by data mining technology, which it opens our minds for garment science research and offers a new database for improving garment CAD system..
