Perkembangan fashion yang pesat membuat mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan dalam mengikuti trend mode sehingga mahasiswa cenderung mengeluarkan dana berlebih untuk membeli busana tanpa mempertimbangkan keberlanjutan lingkungan, sehingga menyebabkan tingginya konsumsi pakaian dan penumpukan limbah tekstil. Konsep convertible modest diterapkan pada busana kuliah wanita sebagai salah satu upaya pencegahan penumpukan limbah pakaian serta memenuhi kebutuhan mahasiswa akan busana praktis dan hemat namun tetap sesuai dengan norma-norma sosial. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendesain busana kuliah wanita dengan konsep convertible modest, mengaplikasikan konsep convertible modest pada busana kuliah wanita, serta mengetahui daya tarik mahasiswi terhadap perancangan busana kuliah wanita dengan konsep convertible modest. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen terapan dengan pendekatan kuantitatif, Populasi penelitian terdiri dari mahasisiwi Konsentrasi Tata Busana Departemen PKK FKIP USK angkatan 2021 dan 2022 sebanyak 154 mahasiswi. Sampel ditentukan dengan teknik simple random sampling dari populasi sebanyak 61 mahasiswi. Teknik pengumpulan data pada penelitian melalui dokumentasi, angket, dan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian berupa setelan busana kuliah wanita, yakni model I girly blus dengan bawahan rok dan model II semi jaket boyish dengan bawahan kulot. Kedua model ini menerapkan dua teknik utama dalam konsep convertible, yaitu teknik reversible (dapat dipakai dua sisi) dan teknik modular (komponen busana dapat dilepas dan dipasang kembali). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden menyukai desain dalam penelitian ini, terlihat pada data yang telah dianalisis rata-rata di atas 80%. Model II memperoleh tingkat ketertarikan yang lebih tinggi yaitu sebesar 86,8% dibanding model I yang memperoleh tingkat ketertarikan 84,8%. Mahasiswi menyukai busana model II karena desainnya lebih fungsional, dinamis, dan memungkinkan lebih banyak variasi gaya hanya dengan satu produk. Teknik reversible pada semi jaket serta teknik modular pada bagian lengan memberikan nilai tambah dari sisi estetika, kenyamanan, serta fleksibilitas penggunaan. Busana dengan konsep convertible modest dapat memenuhi kebutuhan mahasiswi akan busana yang praktis, ekonomis, berkelanjutan dan ramah lingkungan namun tetap memperhatikan norma-norma kesopanan dalam lingkungan kampus.

The rapid development of fashion makes it difficult for students to keep up with fashion trends so that students tend to spend excessive funds to buy clothes without considering environmental sustainability, resulting in high consumption of clothing and the accumulation of textile waste. The concept of modest convertible is applied to women's college wear as an effort to prevent the accumulation of clothing waste and meet the needs of students for practical and economical clothing but still in accordance with social norms. The purpose of this research is to design women's college wear with the concept of modest convertible, apply the concept of modest convertible to women's college wear, and determine the attractiveness of female students to the design of women's college wear with the concept of modest convertible. This research uses an applied experimental method with a quantitative approach. The research population consists of 154 students from the Department of Fashion Design Concentration, FKIP USK class of 2021 and 2022. The sample was determined by simple random sampling technique from a population of 61 female students. Data collection techniques in the study through documentation, questionnaires, and literature studies. The results of the research are in the form of women's college fashion suits, namely model I girly blouse with skirt bottoms and model II semi boyish jacket with culottes bottoms. Both models applied two main techniques in the convertible concept, namely reversible technique (can be worn on both sides) and modular technique (fashion components can be removed and reassembled). The results of this study show that the majority of respondents liked the designs in this study, as seen in the data that has been analyzed with an average of above 80%. Model II obtained a higher level of interest at 86.8% compared to model I which obtained an interest level of 84.8%. Students liked model II because the design was more functional, dynamic, and allowed for more style variations with just one product. The reversible technique on the semi jacket and modular technique on the sleeves provide added value in terms of aesthetics, comfort, and flexibility of use. Fashion with the concept of convertible modest can fulfill the needs of female students for fashion that is practical, economical, sustainable and environmentally friendly while still paying attention to the norms of modesty in the campus environment.
