The growth of microbes on textiles inflicts a range of unpleasant effects not only on the textile itself but also on the wearer. The detrimental effects can be controlled by antimicrobial finishing of textile using Sanitized T99-19 in the finishing formulation and simulated curing/transfer printing in one step for different types of fabrics. Improvements of multifunctional property vary, to some extent with the nature of fibrous substrates, resin concentration, simultaneous curing/transfer printing, temperature employed, and various additives in the finishing formulation used to affect the polymerization of the reactant. Optimized resin concentrations as well as transfer printing temperatures to enhance the properties of the finished fabrics were reported. Quantitative analysis was carried out to measure antibacterial activity against Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results showed that printed fabrics inhibited the growth of both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ) bacteria compared with control samples (without Sanitized T99-19). Improvement of color strength as well crease recovery angle was obtained. Antibacterial activity was retained up to 20 cycles. Scanning electron microscopy of finished fabrics was performed.

Both consumer and manufacturer are faced with the presence of undesired bad microorganisms and the negative impacts they cause, in addition to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation that penetrates human skin and materials. Antimicrobial finishing was assured to be common among both consumers and manufacturers. The present study focused on the development of multifunctional polyester-containing fabrics such as cotton/polyester 50/50, cotton/ polyester 33/67, wool/polyester 40/60 using Sanitized ® T99-19 as an antimicrobial agent, and transfer printing technique, and then UV-SUN ® , a reactive anionic UV absorber based on oxalanilides. Finishing formulation contains DMDHEU as tetra-functional resin catalyst, acetic acid, and softener. AATCC 100 and AATCC 147 analysis were carried out to assess the antibacterial activity against two types of bacteria. The results revealed that finished and printed fabrics acquired the ability to inhibit the growth of both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared with unfinished ones (without an antimicrobial agent), and to enhance of color strength and crease recovery angles. In addition, imparting UV blocking ability that achieved very good and excellent protection categories. Moreover, the efficiency of activity against the bacteria was sustained up to 20 machine washes.

Back Irregularities can impose a number of serious challenges side effects such as protruding abdomen, curved back and uneven shoulders. Nevertheless, finding clothes that fit and are reasonably flattering for those with hunched backs still remains an issue of comfort and an overall sense of well-being. The present study aims to hide and fix the appearance of the physical changes that may be caused by back deformity in order to create the appearance of a straight line from head to toe and direct the eye away from any deformity. By using design elements and accessories which are two important fashion components that can help to achieve this goal. In this study, natural cellulosic fabrics (linen, gabardine and poplin) were biopolished using cellulase enzyme to improve their surface properties and quality (fuzzing and pilling) such as physico-mechanical properties were measured and determined. Additionally, dyeing of finished fabrics was carried out using different classes of reactive dyes. Then, create six designs with alterations in pattern and used biopolished fabrics which dye and tie, hand drawing, patch work, stencil and embroidery to meet Back Irregularities fashion challenge.

Textile materials can be exposed to contaminate with microbes during production, usage or storage. One of the results of microbial attack is unpleasant odor. Because the unpleasant odor has a negative impact on textiles and their comfort properties so, there is a need for anti-odor finishing which is classified as "novel finish". The greater use of synthetic fibers and blends in such items as shirts, hosiery, blouses, underwear, etc., has accelerated the need for bacteriostatic finishes on clothing. The research aims to using modified viscose, viscose /polyester and polyester fabrics were draped directly onto the dress form to execute the fashionable clothes designs for women, as the drapeability of fabrics was enhanced after the Quat188 treatment. And, it adds anti-odor properties as new function designs to taken into consideration while designed these clothes. Firstly, covered the axilla, arm and legs causes these parts contained the highest concentrations of odor-causing bacteria. Secondly, the designs clothes matched with the fashion trends during period of the research, for example asymmetrical balance, one shoulder, buff sleeve, ribbon necklace, and purple; turquoise; olive acid green colors. Tie and dye, transfer printing, embroidery using hand stitches and beads were used to finish these fashionable designs.
