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. |
