Abstract

Women with a petite body often face challenges in finding clothes that fit their size due to their shorter stature. In Indonesia, the majority of fashion products use international standard sizes, and petitesized clothing is still scarce, leaving petite women with limited choices in selecting suitable attire. The selection of ill-fitting clothing can also make petite women appear shorter than their actual height, leading to a lack of confidence. Some fashion industries offer fast fashion for petite women, but this may contribute to the potential consumerism of fast fashion targeting petite women. In addressing this issue, sustainable fashion through modular design can help petite women feel confident in various styles with just one garment, without contributing to the accumulation of fast fashion waste. The research conducted is of a qualitative descriptive nature, involving data collection through questionnaire activities and environmental and community observations, along with a literature study. The purpose of this research is to understand the process of designing modular fashion applied to petite women's clothing. This design approach results in multifunctional fashion products using modular design specifically tailored for petite women.
