Textile materials can be exposed to contaminate with microbes during production, usage or storage. One of the results of microbial attack is unpleasant odor. Because the unpleasant odor has a negative impact on textiles and their comfort properties so, there is a need for anti-odor finishing which is classified as "novel finish". The greater use of synthetic fibers and blends in such items as shirts, hosiery, blouses, underwear, etc., has accelerated the need for bacteriostatic finishes on clothing. The research aims to using modified viscose, viscose /polyester and polyester fabrics were draped directly onto the dress form to execute the fashionable clothes designs for women, as the drapeability of fabrics was enhanced after the Quat188 treatment. And, it adds anti-odor properties as new function designs to taken into consideration while designed these clothes. Firstly, covered the axilla, arm and legs causes these parts contained the highest concentrations of odor-causing bacteria. Secondly, the designs clothes matched with the fashion trends during period of the research, for example asymmetrical balance, one shoulder, buff sleeve, ribbon necklace, and purple; turquoise; olive acid green colors. Tie and dye, transfer printing, embroidery using hand stitches and beads were used to finish these fashionable designs.

Functional textiles and clothes have attracted increasing attention in recent years. Apparel possessing antibacterial and antioxidant functions can offer health care effects. Cotton head covers with antioxidant and antibacterial functional properties were created by using a sustainable approach in the current study. The sustainability was applied through using microwave dyeing for knitted cotton fabric with lac and turmeric natural dyes as well as chitosan bio-mordanting. The microwave dyeing was optimized by studying the dyeing time (3-11 min), the microwave power (100 -900 W), salt concentration (0-10 %) for both lac and turmeric dyes, and the pH of the dyeing bath (2-6) for lac dye and (4-8) for turmeric dye. The deposition of chitosan on cotton fabric was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy for the cotton surface. The color strength of cotton fabric reached 11 and 8.3 for lac and turmeric dyes, respectively with no salt dyeing after chitosan treatment. This result was obtained at 450 W, 7 min, and pH 3 for lac dye and 100 W, 3 min, and pH 7 for turmeric dye. both perspiration and washing fastness (the staining on cotton) properties of lac dyed cotton fabrics were enhanced in the case of chitosan treatment. But in the case of turmeric dye, the fastness properties to wash and light were improved after chitosan treatment. The functional properties of antioxidant and antibacterial were evaluated for both lac and turmeric dyed cotton fabric. The antioxidant activity for turmeric and lac dyed cotton fabrics reached 61.25% and 11% respectively. The antibacterial activity against three strains of bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli) was evaluated using the turbidity method and both lac and turmeric dyes showed antibacterial activity.

During the whole design process sources of inspiration plays a major role, where it is considered the spark for creation. For this reason the designers usually search for novel inspiration sources to innovate new designs catching the eye of customer. The art of fabric manipulation was used in this work as a nontraditional inspiration source to create novel children clothes. Cotton fabric was chosen to accomplish the created designs after dyeing by reactive dye via tie and dye technique. Three ideas of fabric manipulation which are layering and slashing, applique and cut surface quilting in addition to the accomplished clothes were analyzed aesthetically according to the elements and principles of fashion design. From the aesthetic analysis it was observed that, the using of fabric manipulation art as inspiration source facilitated the design process and assisted in creating cheerful, joyful and unconventional children clothes.
