Abstract
AbstractThis article explores the interdisciplinary application of textile science, garment engineering, and fashion management in the design and production of contemporary lifestyle garments. Focusing on three key case studiesa womens nightwear set, a womens oversized T-shirt dress, and a mens casual wrap shirtthis study highlights how material selection, ergonomic design, and efficient construction contribute to comfort, durability, and commercial viability. Through systematic analysis of fabric properties, pattern development, garment construction, and cost management, each project demonstrates how engineering precision and fashion aesthetics can co-exist to meet modern consumer expectations.1. IntroductionThe contemporary apparel industry increasingly demands products that combine scientific performance with consumer-centric aesthetics. Garments today must not only offer comfort and durability but also align with environmental standards and market trends. This article presents a comprehensive exploration of how applied textile science and fashion engineering principles were used in the development of three lifestyle garments: (1) A Womens Nightwear Set, (2) A Womens Oversized T-shirt Dress, and (3) A Mens Casual Wrap Shirt.Each project integrates fabric engineering, ergonomic design, quality control, and cost optimization to meet functional and visual expectations while supporting sustainable and scalable production.
