Abstract

The paper tries to understand the needs and wants of “disabled people” regarding apparel items of clothing. The aim of “clothing is to express” the style of an individual and to fulfil the needs of the wearer’s security, functionality, and easement. In this paper, the limitations that people with “limb disabilities” face during the selection of any apparel of their choice because of medical restrictions are presented here. The apparel is important as every need of the wearer have to be satisfied in order to fulfil the human needs and obtain the functionality of the garments. Here, the functional clothes needs of the “disabled people” and with the use of 3D “virtual scanning” for a new presentation of the clothing is further presented. In order to gather data in reference to the research topic, secondary research methodology has been used here. The data findings and interpretation are also done following that manner. Also, the conclusion and future recommendations have been provided in this paper.
