Abstract: The paper analyzes the relationship among the modeling of A-line skirt as well as three structural parameters, i.e., the ease allowance of hip circumference, skirt length, and the gradient of side seam via FUYI CAD and CLO 3D garment design software. Research indicated that the skirt length has the most significant influence on the modeling of A-line skirt, and the skirt length is positively correlated with the front area and the side area of the skirt, as well as the thickness of the skirt hem; the gradient of side seam has a moderate influence on the model of A-line skirt, as the gradient of side seam increased, the width of the skirt hem and the front area of the skirt body would also increase; and the ease allowance of hip circumference had a general influence on the A-line skirt, which mainly affected the width and area of the skirt hem.
