As modern society entails environmental destruction such as global warming and lack of resources, which threaten the survival of human beings, and the issue of enhancing the quality of life and the concept of environment-friendly have been highlighted, solutions to protect global environment have been sought. As the issue of health and environment has attracted a lot of interest from each field, themes of environment-friendly fashion are addressed in many fields. Recently, it is a trend to address recycling through reform, environment- friendly materials, natural dying, fair trade. The flow of fashion based on the trend has spreaded, and also in Korea interest in “environment-friendly fashion” has increased. With the cycle of fashion becoming faster, and due to increase of clothes that are no more weared after a short-time wearing, environmental problems by increased wastes are caused and economic loss is increasing. Accordingly, it is urgent to resolve such problems. This study examined the concept and effects of reform through literature reviews including previous studies, and reformed designs and created three one-piece dresses for girls aged 4 or 5, one vest, and one cape using adult knitted cardigans and full-over knit. Through these efforts, this study aims to develop and recreate structured design for reformed clothing, which will help prevent loss of energy resources due to environmental pollutions, and to present ways for new environment-friendly fashion designs that are practicable.
