Abstract
A rapid growth rate of children, in addition to constant movement and activity, makes the rate of purchasing and consuming clothes high, and this has a negative impact on the family budget as well as on the environment. The research aims to design and produce sustainable children's clothing from 2 to 6 years old, with a focus on quality and design, using four key axes: First, Analyzing the differences in sizes during the age period under study. Second, designing seven clothing pieces that contain functional techniques to control the differences in lengths and circumferences between different age sizes, which support a longer period of time for use. Third, Choosing fabrics with good performance quality. The process involves dyeing and printing the fabrics to enhance their aesthetic appeal. Ultimately, we execute the suggested functional designs and administer a survey to specialists and mothers\consumers, to gauge the effectiveness of these designs and the level of consumer demand for them. The results of the designed questionnaires verified that all the seven products were accepted by specialists and mothers\consumers in general, but with different values.
