Abstract
           Back Irregularities can impose a number of serious challenges side effects such as protruding abdomen, curved back and uneven shoulders. Nevertheless, finding clothes that fit and are reasonably flattering for those with hunched backs still remains an issue of comfort and an overall sense of well-being. The present study aims to hide and fix  the appearance of the physical changes that may be caused by back deformity in order to create the appearance of a straight line from head to toe and direct the eye away from any deformity. By using design elements and accessories which  are two important fashion components that can help to achieve this goal. In this study, natural cellulosic fabrics (linen, gabardine and poplin) were biopolished using cellulase enzyme to improve their surface properties and quality (fuzzing and pilling) such as physico-mechanical properties were measured and determined. Additionally, dyeing of finished fabrics was carried out using different classes of reactive dyes. Then, create six designs with alterations in pattern and used biopolished fabrics which dye and tie, hand drawing, patch work, stencil and embroidery  to meet Back Irregularities fashion challenge.
