This document describes a dress designed for lactating mothers with a breastfeeding facility. The dress is made from locally sourced natural dyes and Khadi fabric. It is designed to allow comfortable breastfeeding when mothers are outside. Third gender individuals are an inspiration for the design, as they traditionally demand money when visiting new mothers. The dress will be marketed by a travelling display vehicle and sold by third gender individuals, allowing them to earn money and gain social recognition for their work.

1. SUMMERY
I take third gender as my inspiration. Whenever I think about them they make their
own tradition when any baby born in society of their area they go there and demand
money. Belong to their traditional work I decide to make a Dress with Breast
Feeding Facility for Lactating Mothers. Main costumer is new born babies mother. I
modify torso dress with special breast feeding facility. When mothers are going
outside they are fell inconvenience & uncomfortable with breast feeding. This dress
will be solution for that problem. I have chosen Khadi fabric as it is traditional as
well as comfortable to wear. I’m also inspired by the design of traditional Jamdani
Sharee and implemented it as a motif on my dress in different way. For the dyeing
purpose I have chosen natural dye from various leaves. Those are-Betel leaves- Betel
leaves are mostly used in our county. It has also some traditional value. I have used
Areca Nut & Lime with the Betel Leaves as a helping agent for color. Teak leaves- It’s
another sources of natural dye. I have used both for fabric &yarn.100% cotton fabric
& yarns have been used. At 1st bought Khadi fabric& yarn from the market. Then
boiled it with Potash Alum. Then washed it with clean water& dry it. Besides that all
leaves are boiled in water separately for 40 min. After that need to collect the water
by filtration. Then those filtered water and fabric& yarn are boiled together as per
need with salt. After fabric dying cut the fabric as per pattern and apply motif design
by hand stitch on fabric. Then sew the whole dress by the machine. Khadi fabric &
yarn that used for this dress made by hand loom machine which is eco-friendly.
Natural dye used for both fabric& yarn. Embroidery also done by hand. In all over
the dress making process less use of electricity, natural dye that’s not harm for our
environment, reuse areca nut as a button all thing make this product sustainable.
Though the concept of third gender tradition accessed in new born baby home, in
that way they will access new born babies house. But this time they never demand
money without anything. They will marketing about the product for the mother&
convince them to buy it. For product selling and promoting this new arrival product
to the massive people I used travelling window display. This car will travel to where
lactating crowded place special those area where mother are mostly gathered. Main
concept of my marketing policy is easy access of shopping in addition with
marketing. The price range is $70-$80.Commerciality for sustainable product is a big
challenge. But my product has a special feature which is very acceptable. Besides
that it is very comfortable to wear & also have an attractive outlook with decorative
design. All the making process, marketing, selling done by third gender so they can
earn money and never turn backward. More than 10000 third gender in Bangladesh.
If they will do it, they will recognize by socially.
