dc.description.abstractThe quest for providing appropriate maternity wears to pregnant women over the years to suit their status both at home and in the society has been a matter of challenge to designers in our locality. The bane of this challenge lies squarely on lack of professional fashion designers, the use of inappropriate materials, indecent maternity wears directly imported without taking into consideration the peculiarity of our socio-cultural make-up. It is on this premises that the research on the “Acceptability of designed and constructed maternity wears for pregnant women teachers” was carried out. The study was aimed at ascertaining the extent which the designed and constructed maternity wears were acceptable, comfortable, decent and affordable to pregnant women. It also investigate the uniqueness and right choice of materials for the designed and construction of maternity wears. The study which is basically a descriptive survey research and production of new design concept was adopted. The non-probability purposive sampling method on 100 pregnant women teachers using a structural question using the 5 point interval Likert Scale. To fully test the research, five null hypotheses postulated and were analyzed using the Statistic Packages for Social Science – SPSS version 17. The t-test on the first null hypothesis which stated that there is no significant difference on the level of acceptability has its result as 0.007 less than p-value of 0.05 (0.007 = P<0.05) and was therefore rejected. The second null hypothesis on comfort and decency had its value as 0.011 which is less than alpha and was also rejected. Furthermore, the third null hypothesis in significance difference of the uniqueness of new concept wears produced a result of 0.002 less than alpha and was reject. More so, the fourth null hypothesis on difference on perception on the right choice of material used, the result was 0.000 less than alpha (0.000 = P<0.05) and was rejected. The difference of significance on the fifth null hypothesis of cost and level of affordability was 0.405 greater than alpha (0.405 = P>0.05) and thus accepted. Based on these findings and tests of null hypotheses, the study recommended that local production of maternity wears be encouraged as well as government should revive the textile industry to make textile materials locally available so as to make productions of wears that are appropriate with on socio-cultural settling. The study concluded that maternity wears appropriately designed and constructed would be accepted by Pregnant Women Teachers because it makes them comfortable and decent.en_US
