Abstract
The student mantle for female university students is an important concern, as their clothing should not only adhere to the standards and values of the Islamic University but also incorporate elements of beauty and artistry. This research draws inspiration from the historical context of Yazd city and explores various stages of collection in clothing design.
Six designs were developed, inspired by motifs such as palm, water tank, pomegranate, clay wall, lighted corridor, and vase. From these, five designs were selected and customized to suit all common female body shapes, including apple-shaped, inverted triangle, pear-shaped, and rectangular figures. Make Human software was utilized to create avatars representing these four body types. Additionally, Marvelous Designer and CLO3D software were employed for the 3D modeling of the garments.
In personalizing the designs, the goal was to ensure a good fit by highlighting the strengths of each body shape while minimizing attention to areas considered less favorable.
