By giving a sample group of students in the Department of Clothing Technology and Patterns Faculty of the Home Economics Technology Rajamangala University of Technology Krungthep, 50 people assessed their satisfaction with the styles of women's clothing made from second-hand denim. The research results found that most assessors were 18–21 years old. The satisfaction level was high (=4.36, SD=0.82). Considering each item, it was found that the second set had the highest level of satisfaction (=4.44, SD=0.80). The third set had a high level of satisfaction  (=4.37, SD=0.81), and the first set had a high level of satisfaction (=4.29, SD=0.86).
