Engineered print for zero waste fashion design

Abstract

Generally, a garment produced using the zero-waste fashion design method focuses on implementing various manipulations of fashion patterns or cutting patterns. The surface design on fabric has not been optimally implemented as a part of the garment because the process of manipulating the clothing pattern is the focus of the design process. The engineered print is one of the surface design techniques used on garments designed with the zero-waste concept. The purpose of this research is to apply the concept of zero waste fashion design to the process of making ready-to-wear clothes in the production process to make it more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The end result is a recommendation on how the basic application of engineered print on the zero-waste garment can lead to a better design process and production.
