Flexible Maternity Garment Using Design Details and Closures

The proposed research of Flexible Maternity Garment using Design Details and Closures is a study of maternity garments that are flexible to be worn by pregnant mothers. The objective of the research is to provide pregnant women with clothing that is valued, as it can be worn from pre until post-natal. Therefore, the flexibility of the garment is the innovation of the proposed product, in which the garment can expand and shrink using different design details and closures. The method of the research is through clinical and fashion data collections as well as distributed survey to respondents whom have experienced pregnancy. These data collected were categorized into three criteria (the design details, closures/fastenings and characteristics) that should be applied and avoid on maternity garments. The results of the analysis were used as guidelines in developing the proposed product. The process of developing each garment includes idea development, toiling, pre-test and prototype. As an end product, the researcher created different flexi maternity garments with differing fastening and design details
