| Abstract |
Our team of designers commenced the design process by contemplating ways to ameliorate and make changes to the chemotherapy gown. First, we eliminated the shoulder and top sleeve, this process will cut down engendering cost and time, while keeping functionality in play. We added the pleats on the arm and shoulder, which will vent open for breathability and comfortability. Second, we integrated an elastic waistband that would emanate from the back towards the right side with velcro fused at the end. This idea was inspired by a closer of the baby diaper. The elastic waistband will give the person whoever is wearing its shape. Third, we added the rib knit around the neckline. Collar is 1 ½ width, sitting comfortably around the neck without the exasperation going on. At last, we put a pocket on the left side of the gown for functionality, durability, and aesthetic purposes. The pocket has a “U” shaped top with a small pen holder fused on top. The “U” shaped top will allow the wearer hand will be facilely accessed.
