This study aimed to design a series of essential clothes made of Eco-fashion materials, especially recycled content in the capsule wardrobe. It has been designed to develop strategies during the clothing design process and promote the use of Eco-fashion materials in the fashion and clothing industry. Guided by the concept of C2CAD model, this research applied multifunctional convertible design in fashion and produced an 'Eco capsule wardrobe‘ with ten pieces of clothing. Besides, this study has applied Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for using the jigsaw puzzle technique in the pattern-making process as another sustainable practice. This paper focuses on the most important casual clothes which can find in any women‘s wardrobe. The research methodology included design concept, design experiments and evaluation stage. Based on the C2CAD model, the Eco capsule wardrobe evaluated by a focus group of twelve participants to assess quality and design. Overall, the Eco capsule wardrobe is perceived as casual, good quality of materials, using Eco friendly features, multifunctional, comfortable, good appearance and design. The proposed prototype of Eco capsule wardrobe provides an example of Eco-fashion design that will reduce landfill clothing waste. This may lead to design sustainability, where clothes can be disassembled and recycled easily after use. Clothing design for Eco capsule wardrobe provides practical application. It may educate and promote the use of Eco-fashion materials that support fabric recycling activities.
