Abstract

Children's clothing is an important part of the fashion industry that hurts the environment a lot because kids grow so quickly and need to change clothes all the time. Because of this, more materials are used and more cloth trash is made. To solve these problems, we need new ideas that combine ecology with practicality. This study looks into how to create and make sustainable, multipurpose children's clothing using zero-waste principles in order to reduce the damage to the environment and meet the changing needs of kids. Due to kids growing up so quickly, clothes are often thrown away too quickly, which adds a lot to textile waste. Using old ways to create and make clothes can lead to a lot of fabric waste, which makes environmental problems worse. Because of these worries, sustainable fashion has come up, focused on reducing trash, producing in an ethical way, and using materials that are good for the earth. In particular, zero-waste design, which gets rid of textile trash during the design process, has gotten a lot of attention because it might make making clothes less harmful to the environment. Still, there hasn't been enough study on how to use zero-waste ideas in children's clothing. Adding multifunctionality to kids' clothes can also make them more helpful and help customers in both practical and financial ways. Our study aims to fill these gaps by coming up with zero-waste, flexible, and long-lasting designs for kids' clothes.
