T-Shirt Design and Pattern Optimization to Create Less Pre-Consumer Waste Prototype

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article discusses the possible ways to change and develop t-shirt patterns by applying methods of zero and less waste design - by assessing the manifestation of the reduction from the cut-off fabric in the cut and sew production system at the pre-consumer stage. The main research focus is on a classical T-shirt that generates 15% and could reach up to 25% pre-consumer waste when producing mass production, batch, or individual garments. To research T-shirt optimization possibilities, sources were gathered from existing zero and less waste patterns from practising designers. Through practical research, samples were analysed and compared to maintain the T-shirt's function, aesthetical requirements, and fit.
