Abstract: In this study, surface treatment using laser engraving for fashion design was investigated on polyester fabric. The properties of original and treated materials such as weight, thickness, tear strength, tensile strength, colour difference and optical microscope view were evaluated. The results demonstrate this treatment is a feasible design method for fashion design and it can engrave different motifs for the changing of garment appearance. In addition, this treatment approach differs from ordinary design methods without discharging any polluted water and can present fine appearance and create higher added value.
