Description For protection of adolescent girls from skin allergies, sun burns on the uncovered body parts
from harsh conditions present investigation on ‘Designing of protective accessories for adolescents’
was planned. To meet its objectives it was conducted in three phase. In phase-I i.e exploratory phase,
ten shops were explored and Adolescent girls were interviewed. Full length gloves covering fingers
(GCFf) of cotton hosiery material for summer season were available in majority of the shops. Cap, hat
and scarf were available for covering of head; and head, face and neck.
About 50% of the adolescents purchased and used full length gloves and majority of them
used dupatta for head, face and neck covering in summer season as it was easily available at home
without any additional cost. The problems encountered were: ‘less variety’ and ‘opening and slipping
of dupatta when it was tied’.
On the basis of preferences, identified protective accessories for designing were: full length
gloves covering fingers and without covering fingers in cotton hosiery and cotton woven, hat in cotton
crochet and cotton woven, cap in denim, capron in cotton woven, scarf mask in cotton woven, triangle
mask in cotton woven and pleated mask in cotton woven
In experimental phase, six designs were created for each selected article and one top most
design i.e. ten protective accessories were developed to assess their suitability and acceptability.
In the assessment phase, the development cost of both types of full length gloves without
covering fingers made in cotton woven material were found appropriate. On the basis of utility
parameters, full length gloves covering fingers (GCFf) made in combination of cotton woven and
cotton hosiery, full length gloves covering fingers (GCFf) made in cotton hosiery, full length gloves
without covering fingers (GWFf) made in cotton woven, full length gloves without coverings fingers
(GWFf) made in cotton hosiery were found highly suitable. Hat in cotton crochet, cap in denim and
capron, scarf mask, triagle mask, pleated mask all in cotton woven were assessed to be highly useful.
The girls assessed that ‘designing technique and embellishment materials used to develop protective
accessories made the articles unique, placement of designs and the color combination of enrichment
material was attractive and suited to the developed accessories.
