The modern day woman faces various psychosocial barriers to breastfeeding, in addition to the emotional and physical to assess clothing requirements of lactating mothers. The identified clothing requirements were incorporated in garment challenges. There is great potential for the development and improvement of apparel for breastfeeding mothers. The aim of this study was to design and develop functional clothing for a lactating woman. A questionnaire was developed for personal interview designs. After designing preference was taken by lactating mothers and top six preferred designs were constructed and given to the lactating women for wear trial. The related data highlights that design 1 with jacket was ranked 1st on overall basis (4.68) followed by design 3 having side pleat (Rank II, 4.59), design 2 with horizontal opening (Rank III, 4.47) and design 6 with yoke (Rank IV, 4.32). Design 6 with princess line and 4 with centre long front opening having average mean score 4.20 and 4.13, respectively were assessed next in their rank orders. It can be concluded from the data that subject was satisfied with the functional designs. This type of designing and construction of functional clothing can boost up the confidence of lactating mothers to breastfeed in the public places and thus ultimately breaking psychosocial barriers to breastfeeding and also enhance psychological comfort by lifting their self esteem.Keywords

The objectives of this study were to determine physical property of control and treated samples were tested to analyze the effect of Karanja extracts on the samples. The fabric samples were conditioned. Samples were cut from scoured cotton fabric with 54 warp yarns (ends) and weft yarns (picks) per inch were (ASTM 123 test method). The tests were performed for different types of samples viz., control (scoured), samples treated with leaves and seed extracts in viscous and dry state; and samples treated with an antiseptic containing chloroxylenol. The samples were subjected to tests for weight per unit area (g/m2) physical property test. It was concluded that as the concentration of extract increased, significant increase at 1% level of significance was observed in all treated samples except SDLP. This may be due to the fact that increase in concentration of Karanja extract, lead to absorption of more amount of extract by the sample.Keywords

The present work was carried out with an objective to study the physical property of control and treated samples were tested to analyze the effect of Karanja extracts on the samples. The Shirley thickness tester was used to determine thickness of controlled’, samples treated with both extracts of Karanja in both viscous and dry state; and antiseptic treated samples in both concentrations using BS 2544: 1967 test method. A specimen size of 5"×5". The tests were performed for different types of samples viz., control (scoured), samples treated with leaves and seed extracts in viscous and dry state; and samples treated with an antiseptic containing chloroxylenol. The samples were subjected to test for fabric thickness (mm). It was concluded that as the concentration of extract increased, thickness (mm) of all treated samples increased significantly. A 1% level significant increase in thickness (mm) was observed in all treated samples as compared to the control sample.Keywords
