ZERO WASTE-BASED WOMEN'S BLOUS DESIGN WITH GEOMETRIC PATTERN TECHNIQUE

The type of research is engineering research which includes fashion design, pattern design, material determination, sewing techniques and fashion finishing. This research focuses on making patterns with the concept of zero waste fashion, which is an effort to create clothing that does not produce waste or waste as much as possible. The fashion product that will be made is designing clothing by reconstructing patterns with zero waste-based geometric pattern techniques on women's blouses. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, namely direct observation when testing the product until finalizing the product to be ready for use, documentation was used to document all exploration activities of product manufacture from prototyping to product finalization, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was used to obtain feedback. feedback from the panelists as a reference for product development and improvement. The panelist group consisted of expert panelists, namely a group of 5 fashion lecturers and a group of fashion students as trained panelists of 5 people. The results of the study were women's blouses made of polyester with striped motifs with a fabric width of 150 cm and a fabric length of 150 cm. The final visualization of a women's blouse is a kimono sleeve blouse, a rever collar with a pocket variation. The results of this research can be used as an alternative as environmentally friendly clothing that becomes a reference in the manufacture of women's clothing.
