<![CDATA[Textile waste is the second largest waste in the world that can pollute the environment. Textile waste can come from pre-production waste, which occurs during pattern making and fabric cutting, but it can also come from post-production, which occurs after the garments have been produced. One of the efforts to minimize textile waste is through the implementation of the zero-waste concept. This concept minimizes material waste in clothing production by adjusting product designs and pattern-making. Although the zero waste concept is well-known in the United States and Hong Kong, it is still less recognized in clothing design in Indonesia. A toga is one of the garments made by students of AK-Tekstil Solo every year. The application of the zero waste concept in toga production begins with developing the design and experimenting with patterns using CAD software to maximize the efficiency of toga fabric usage. The next step is to cut the fabric according to the CAD design and sew it into three types of garments’: the first development pattern design, the second development pattern design, and existing toga pattern design. This research also uses a questionnaire to determine the level of user comfort when using the garments. Based on the results, it can be conluded that both development designs have a waste of less than 15%, so it can be said that these designs successfully implement the zero waste concept. The second development pattern design shows the highest efficiency at 89.47% compared to the others. In terms of comfort, the second development pattern design has a rating of 3.72 (on a scale of 1 to 5), so it can be said that this design has a fairly high level of comfort]]>
