ABSTRACT
This article deals with questions related to the design and modelling of postpartum caesarean lingerie that aims to assist in the healing of the superficial layer of skin. This research is part of a work that also includes analysis of microencapsulation of the essential oil (EO) for textile impregnation and innovation approaches in the Portuguese Textile Industry. The main objective of this research is to promote improvements in ergonomics, providing physical and psychological comfort to the user. To achieve these objectives, it was necessary to develop research and experimentation in patternmaking. Thus, this study presents the initial result of these experiments, which intends, in addition to providing comfort to users, to contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the textile industry through incremental innovations.
