TY - CONF AB - <p>This project prototyped a regenerative (i.e. environmentally beneficial) size-adjustable wrap dress using Corriedale sheep and Huacaya alpaca wool grown locally in Colorado. Guided by the Indigenous mindset of maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship with the Earth, the garment was designed to minimize harm and maximize benefit to the environment using the Fibershed approach. This is a circular ‘soil-to-soil’ approach to creating local regenerative fiber systems and was specifically applied by using CLO3D, a computer-aided design (CAD) software, and zero-waste design methodology. Using a CLO3D-generated pattern, locally-sourced yarn was woven to exact garment specifications on a four-shaft floor loom by hand. By communicating this process through design scholarship, this project addresses the need for regenerative creative scholarship within the apparel industry and exemplifies design for a Fibershed – a local and regenerative apparel system.</p> AU - Katie V Miller, Sonali Diddi, Kristen Deanne Morris DA - 2022/12// DO - 10.31274/itaa.15984 IS - 1 VL - 79 PB - Iowa State University Digital Press PY - 2022 TI - Regenerative Garment Design Within a Colorado Fibershed T2 - International Textile and Apparel Association Annual Conference Proceedings UR - https://www.iastatedigitalpress.com/itaa/article/id/15984/ ER -
