International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) Annual Conference Proceedings
Iowa State University Conferences and Symposia

The first national meeting of textile and clothing professors took place in Madison, Wisconsin in June 1959. With a mission to advance excellence in education, scholarship and innovation, and their global applications, the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) is a professional and educational association of scholars, educators, and students in the textile, apparel, and merchandising disciplines in higher education.

This site provides free, public access to the ITAA annual conference proceedings beginning in 2015. Previous proceedings can be found by following the "Additional ITAA Proceedings" link on the left sidebar of this page.

Abstract

The purpose of this design was to virtually create a prototype in Optitex 2D/3D and design an engineered garment that incorporate digital printing and laser cutting to explore the effects of depths within a dress. The source of inspiration was a caged garden gate. The patterns of the gate were laser cut and placed on top of the digitally printed floral petal prints. The design and construction process for the dress include: 1) creating the garment pattern pieces on OptiTex, 2) creating and printing textile prints, 3) designing and cutting laser cut prints, and 4) constructing the garment. This design contributes to a new way of integrating emerging technologies into an innovative design process. Documentation of this process can give new insights on the use of 2D and 3D by apparel design students and also provides a new way of applying technologies and creativity into one complex garment.
