BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of service provision through a computer network, and more particularly, to a clothing distribution system and a method of manufacturing a garment made on an electronic network system.

Recently, a variety of so-called virtual reality services and electronic commerce through cyberspace have been developed and known to realize various needs of humans through computer networks such as the Internet. The Internet, which was initially limited to the exchange of information in the military sector, exploded due to the development of the World Wide Web (WWW) technology. It is widely used as a means to realize this.

In the above-mentioned e-commerce sector, shopping malls for purchasing a desired product through the Internet have been booming. These shopping malls on the Internet are influencing a wide variety of shopping cultures, from buying general products such as food, books, clothing, and cosmetics to selling used cars.The lifestyle of modern people is pursuing a more comfortable and reasonable life. It is expected that the field of application will be gradually expanded while satisfying these requirements.

Looking at the shopping mall in the fashion sector of the above e-commerce sector, only the simple information such as product size, color, material characteristics, price. In such a shopping mall, a client (consumer) selects the clothes he / she wants based on the appearance of the mannequin or model worn on the monitor. However, even if the clothes of the same size, the silhouette of the clothing appears differently depending on the characteristics of the individual body size, body shape, skin color, and the elasticity, wrinkle characteristics, flexibility, and texture of the material of which the clothes are made. Thus, when a client selects clothing based on simple information displayed on a monitor, it may be different from the style he expected. As described above, it is difficult to grasp the overall characteristics of the clothing only by the information provided by the shopping mall site, and there is a troublesome problem such as exchanging the actual delivered clothing because it does not feel the wearing effect.

On the other hand, conventionally, the pattern production and sewing work of the garment to be produced in the future were all made by hand.
