Abstract

This study evaluates the Zero Waste clothing methodology with a focus on ergonomics and usability, using shirts and pants modeled from the book Zero Waste Patterns. The objective is to analyze the suitability of the garments in terms of comfort and functionality. A qualitative and quantitative approach was adopted to examine the modeling, fabric, and fit of the garments, based on the evaluation of a user. The results show that, although the products follow the Zero Waste principles, they face challenges related to fit and comfort, such as problems with the size chart and limitations in mobility. The study suggests the need to improve the size charts and adjust the modeling to balance sustainability and comfort. It is concluded that a design that manages to combine these dimensions can improve the user experience and the effectiveness of sustainable clothing.
