Abstract
The research aims to apply the principles of sustainability and the circular economy by recycling garments made from 3D fabrics using advanced mannequin draping techniques, with the objective of reducing environmental waste and extending the lifecycle of clothing products in innovative and practical ways. It also seeks to develop creative and distinctive eveningwear designs that embody both aesthetic, creative, and functional values, while assessing their visual impact, usability, and acceptance among specialists and female consumers. The significance of the study lies in integrating sustainable design practices with contemporary and experimental draping techniques, thereby contributing to environmental waste reduction, fostering innovation in fashion design, and achieving long-term economic efficiency through more sustainable resource reuse. The findings demonstrated the success of the executed designs in meeting the foundations and elements of design, as well as achieving innovative, functional, and aesthetic values, aligning with sustainability principles and the evolving needs and preferences of the target female consumer audience
