Many brands sell prayer attire, but they do not sell prayer attire that has specific designs for disabled women because they think it is not profitable. Unsuitable design for the disabled user especially on prayer attire and the existing product in the market does not fit and fulfil the attributes needed in terms of fabric and durability.

The observation, survey and interview were used to obtain additional unknown or reliable information, authoritative opinions, serious and professional assessments of the research topic. This research found that the enhancement of the characteristics of multifunctional prayer attire for disabled women would improve the functional features in the design. The final product met the donning/ doffing, versatility, practicality and durability with the design projected to achieve the objective and also to educate the public on the importance of having a proper or suitable attire for disabled women which is multifunctional and comfortable, especially when performing prayers during religious activity. |
