dc.description.abstractThe study on the “acceptability of self-designed and constructed garments for breastfeeding mothers in Taraba was conducted to determine the level of desirability, acceptability, comfort as well as the uniqueness of the garments among breastfeeding mothers. The study adopted the survey and studio research for both testing of the structured instruments (questionnaires) alongside the five self-designed and constructed specimen garments to collate the data needed for analysis. The weighted mean value of 3.5 was used as a criterion for accepting the value and vice versa as presented descriptively with frequency and percentage. Three null hypotheses were formulated to test the level of significance of the research, using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) set at Alpha value of 0.5. The three hypothesis tested had to following result, (i) F(1,2)=57.608, P=0.000, (ii) F(5,94)=86.898, P=0.000 and (iii) F(3,96)=91.349 P=0.000. Based on these results, the hypotheses were all rejected and the conclusion that there is a significant difference among the variable tested. The findings revealed that the designed and constructed garments were highly accepted by breastfeeding mothers as meeting the level of uniqueness, comfortable, privacy and fitting necessary for their usage. Base on this, the study recommended that the production of this nature of clothing should take into consideration variables such as uniqueness, comfort and privacy in the designing and construction of specific garment for breastfeeding mothers. The study suggest that a further research be carried out among working class mothers.en_US
