    “ELEMENTS OF DESIGN OF GARMENTS”

    Learning Objectives:

    At the end of the lesson, the students are able to:

     understand the types of elements of design used on garments;


     identify the elements that influence clothing design development; and
     apply the relevant elements in various dress designing aspects.

    Elements of Design
    A complete knowledge on the various fundamental elements of art and design would help
    a person to create and design a garment on an aesthetic manner. To create beautiful garments
    consistently one need to follow certain guidelines in selecting and arranging design elements.
    In creating a design one of the components which interact is the Design Elements.

    TYPES OF ELEMENTS OF DESIGN


    1. Line - the basic part of any design is formed by lines. The eye tends to follow the direction
    of the line in a dress design or in the fabric of the dress.

     Horizontal Line - gives the impression of shorter and heavier


     Vertical line - gives the impression of height.
     Diagonal lines – it tends to slenderize the whole body, more than vertical line.
     Curved lines - in Fashion Design bring forth a sense of softness and femininity.
     Zigzag lines – this type of line gives a feeling of playfulness, jerky, busy and
    excited effect. Characterized by sharp angles, these lines create an animated and
    exciting feel.

    2. Color - adds excitement, mood and emotion to a design.

    Color has three dimensions:


    o Hue - is the name of the color: for example, this coat is pink.
    o Value - is how light or dark the color is
    o Intensity - is how bright or dull the color is.

    Use of color in clothes:


     Black, dark tones or deeply grayed colors tend to make the figure appear smaller
    or slimmer than bright or light colors
     A plain color makes the figure look slimmer than a combination of contrasting
    colors.

     A very small figure should not wear over large designs in prints, plaids, or stripes;
    4. Contrast and accent should be done with care.

    3. Form – it refers to the shape of an object as determined by line. The term used to describe
    form which may repeat, may contrast, or be transitional. Form is the 3-D element of design
    and has length, width and height. Form can be organic or inorganic and is enhanced by color,
    shade, tone and texture.

    4. Texture - it appeals strongly to the sense of touch, whether it is coarse, fine, smooth,
    rough, wrinkled, sleek, glossy, slippery.

     Textures as well as lines can create illusions, one must choose textures for
    clothes that will harmonize with the over- all design.
     A soft wool will give a quite different effect from the gloss and sheen of the
    satin in the evening dress.
     Bulky, rough fabrics tend to increase the size of a design, whereas smooth
    fabrics decrease it.

    5. Shapes - clothes reveal or disguise the natural body contour or shape. Choosing the right
    clothing shapes will make the person more flattering. Wide, full shapes clothes will make you
    look larger while trim, compact dress will make you look smaller.

     Straight, tubular shapes will make the wearer look taller while fitted clothes
    will reveal the natural body contours.

    6. Dot - it is known as basic elements of point. The sizes of the dots also convey a message.
