Abstract

This study aims to apply the concept of sustainable fashion through zero waste pattern cutting techniques in the production of ready-to-wear clothing, focusing specifically on a hoodie blouse design. The background of this research stems from the growing problem of textile waste, largely caused by unsustainable fashion production practices. Zero waste techniques are chosen as a strategic approach to designing garment patterns that are both material-efficient and environmentally friendly, without compromising aesthetic and comfort values. The research method employed is a research and development (R&D) approach through product design experimentation. The process includes design conceptualization, zero waste pattern drafting, prototype development, and product evaluation by experts and users. The results show that the application of zero waste techniques successfully increased fabric utilization efficiency up to 98%, resulting in a product that meets the criteria of aesthetics, comfort, functionality, and sustainability. Product evaluation revealed high average scores across all assessed aspects, with the sustainability aspect reaching a score of 4.86 on a 5-point scale. These findings indicate that zero waste design is an innovative solution for environmentally conscious ready-to-wear clothing production. This research is expected to serve as a reference for designers, fashion educators, and industry practitioners in implementing sustainable fashion principles in a practical and applicable manner.
