Percepção do uso de aviamentos de vestuários: características estéticas, funcionais e estruturais

Closure trimmings are several devices that make up a garment and support the assembling of parts of the fashion piece, the malleability and independence in dressing and undressing. The objective of this study was to understand the interaction between user-product regarding aesthetical, functional and structural characteristics of different trimmings, particularly considering the user interaction of those. This exploratory research raises data on the perception of usability of the trimmings through online content with 99 Brazilian women. Results indicate that the participants prefer using classic trimmings (button, zipper and elastic bands) showing higher frequency of use, and were also evaluated as unsatisfactory, particularly with regard to structural characteristics, whilst other technologies face some resistance to the use.
