BRIEF INTRODUCTION

To achieve a garment design that exudes pleasantries, grace,

style, and confidence, one must learn to use the proper application of
elements and principles of design to the garments of the wearer.
Having the knowledge of the elements and principles of design, could
help boost an individual’s personality. The clothes that we wear make
us confident and attractive, emphasizes our greatest assets, and hides
the flaws of our physical features.

LESSON 1.1: LADIES’ CASUAL DRESS

Applique – cutting shapes from fabrics and attaching them to another fabric
or garment to decorate the base material.
Buttonholes – the opening into which a button fits to close a garment.
Crosswise grain (weft) – Yarns woven across the fabric from selvage to
selvage.
Embroidery – a decorative technique on the fabric by using any decorative
hand or machine stitches to form a design.
Empire waist – the waistline’s location is just under the bustline.
Gathers – the distribution of fullness in some part of a garment.
Gore – triangular piece of fabric that is added to a garment for fullness.
Grain – the direction in which the yarn is woven or knitted.
Hems – the lower edge of a garment.
Hoop/crinoline – an undergarment used for adding volume to the skirt.
Lengthwise grain (warp) – Yarns parallel with selvage and at right angles to
the crosswise grain. Stable grain.
Seam – this is the part where two pieces of fabric are sewn.
Selvage – finished strip on both lengthwise grain edges of the woven fabric.
True bias – the angle line that intersects with the warp and weft at a 45
degree angle.

Women’s fashion has been changing ever since. From the space taking
skirt of the 1800’s to the extraordinary standards of
women in the 2000’s. Women, in the olden times, were
only allowed to wear dresses and skirts. In Western
countries, women wore an undergarment, layers and
layers of petticoat which was then replaced by a
crinoline cage. The crinoline cage acts as a petticoat
giving the skirt more volume. The skirt was a symbol
of status before. The bigger the skirt, the richer the
wearer is. The practice of wearing layers of petticoat is
also exercised in Eastern countries, even in the
Philippines.

Then sometime later, women were

now open to wearing pants, thus giving
women’s history of fashion viewed in a
wider spectacle. Dressmakers and fashion
designers created a huge impact and a
great variety in women’s clothing. This led
to women who embrace pants as one of
their casual apparel, giving them more mobility and ease.

LESSON 1.2: ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

Elements of Design is the fundamental aspect of which the design is

comprised of. There are different lines, shapes, color, form, and texture
which will suit your client. Learning the basics of designs will serve as a
guide for you to be able to recommend a style to your client. Without the
elements of design, it would be hard to distinguish what is pleasing and
unpleasing to the eyes of the viewer.

• LINE – It is the basic element of design and refers to a continuous

movement of points in a space. It also creates a visual dimension of
length and width. The edges of forms and shapes create line
element. Lines direct the eyes to a certain path of vision, which
could help avert the attention of the viewer to a flawed part of the
wearer’s body.

Two Kinds of Lines:

o Directional Line – These are vertical, horizontal, diagonal,

checkered, broken, and curved lines. Lines affect the height
and size of the wearer depending on how thick or thin, long
or short the lines are. Take for example (Figure 1), the
thinner the stripes, the leaner the wearer
looks; (Figure 2) the thicker the stripes, the
broader the shoulders appear.
Lines also serve as clothing
designs like prints and dots, and
other designs present on the Figure 2 Thick
Stripes
fabric.
Figure 1 Thin Stripes

o Structural Line – These lines are formed after combining or

sewing the edges of the fabric into a seam. Such lines are
found on necklines, armholes, hemlines, darts, side seams,
sleeves, collars, tucks, and pleats of garments.

• SHAPE – A basic element of design wherein points, and lines form

a shape. It is a two-dimensional area that stands out from the
space around it due to variations in contour, color, and material.

• COLOR – it is a property possessed by an object of producing

different sensation on the eye because of the way the objects
reflects or emits light. Otherwise known as Hue.

8
 o Primary Colors – the three-basic color of the color palette
red, blue and yellow, in terms of pigment.
o Secondary Colors – are combinations of two primary colors
such as red and blue is violet, red and yellow is orange, etc.
o Intermediate Colors – are obtained by mixing one primary
color to a secondary color.
o Tertiary color – mixing two secondary colors.
o Neutral color – are colors which are under the shades of
white, black, and gray.

• FORM – it is the element of design which has length, width, and

height. The form can be organic or inorganic and is enhanced by
using colors, shade, tone, and texture. As for organic, this refers to
the form of a person or their silhouette which shows the curves of
their body. This includes the features of the face and the body
figure.

• TEXTURE – it refers to the feel (softness, roughness, and

crispness), appearance (shininess, dullness) and weight of a fabric.

Two Types of Texture

o Structural texture – created during the manufacturing
process of the fabric. This is what you feel when you hold or
caress the fabric in your hands.
o Visual texture – fabric design is printed into its surface. The
ability of our eyes to grasp the sensation of the fabric without
touching it.

LESSON 1.3: PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

Principles of Design

Balance Emphasis Harmony Proportion Rhythm

• BALANCE – is the concept of visual equilibrium and relates to our

physical sense of balance. Balance refers to the overall stability in the
dress with the satisfactory arrangement of parts and details.

Kinds of Balance:

o Asymmetrical Balance or Informal Balance – the

design appears to be unequal in the arrangement of
the elements of design.
Figure 3
Asymmetrica
o Symmetrical Balance or Formal Balance – Achieved
when both elements of design are present on both
sides of the garment, thus creating and equal or
balanced look.

o Radial Balance – the repetition of an accent to create

a unique design. in
Figure 4
Radial

• EMPHASIS – it is the concentration of interest the selected area of

design. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.

• HARMONY – also called the unity of design, which creates a sense of

completeness and ensures the goal for the overall look.

• PROPORTION – this is the relationship of size between various parts

to the whole. When choosing accessories or clothing, proportion
should always be considered. For example, a woman who has small

12
 hips are encouraged to wear skirts that billow, e.g. circle skirts. In
case of accessories, a woman with a small face should wear small
accessories, to make her facial features appear big.

• RHYTHM – it is created when one or more elements of design are

used [repeatedly to create a feeling of a single movement.

Types of Rhythm

Graduated Progression Radiation Repetition Transition

Types of Rhythm:

o Graduated – arrangement of designs is interval or in irregular

distance
o Progression – the increase and decrease of similar design
elements
o Radiation – movement in different directions, usually in a
circular motion.
o Repetition – the use of the same design
o Transition – gradual change of flow of a design in fabric

LESSON 1.4: SPECIAL PREFERENCES

An individual can boost their confidence when they wear the

clothes, style, or fashion they prefer. The style that you wear is already a
statement of your personality. We aim to please ourselves and receive
compliment when we choose our wardrobe. The styles vary and, of
course, the figure of the wearer is also different. One size does not fit all.
For you to be able to plan your garment designs, this lesson will take you
to the different variations of darts, dresses, pants, sleeves, and collars.
Be sure to follow and understand what these variations mean, so you’ll
be able to see your preference.

DART
A wedge-shaped-cut-out in a pattern to control the fit of a garment
point on the pattern. Darts retain the form or the model’s measurement
by confining the excess fabric. A dart can be placed to any location
around the pattern’s outline from a designated pivotal joint without
altering the size or fit of the garment.

Parts of a Dart:
• Bust point – the pivotal point or the apex of a
dart.
• Dart point – the point where the dart ends its
intake.
• Dart legs – the lines that join at a point on the
pattern and separated to take up space for design.
• Dart Intake – The excess or space in between the
dart legs. The excess or space serves as functional
and design means to a garment.

Darts as Design – the darts can be used as gathers,

pleats, tuck-darts, style lines, cowls, flares, or ease.

15
 Dart Locations – The darts on a garment can be placed on the
different areas of the bodice given that the pivotal point should
originate on the bust point. Below are the dart locations which is used
in different designing techniques.

COLLAR
A collar encircles the neck and frames the face, which offers a wide
variety for design variations. Collars may be sewn close to or away from
the neckline. It may be wide, narrow, flat, or high and with or without an
attached stand. Collars may be stylized or may follow a basic shape – it
may be round, curved, scalloped, square, or pointed (long or short) in any
direction. The choice of collar design should complete and enhance the
style and purpose of the garment.

Collar Classifications:
a. Convertible –
This type of collar springs open when
unbuttoned.
Figure 5 Convertible
Collar

b. Non-convertible –
This type of collar will stay in place when
unbuttoned.
Figure 6 Non-
Convertible Collar

Collar Design Variations:

Collar Illustration Collar Name
1. Sailor Collar – (Non-convertible) the
collar is squared at the back and ends a
v-neckline in front.

16
2. Mandarin Collar – (Non-convertible) also
called as military, Nehru, and Chinese
Collar. It is a close-fitting, stand-up
collar. It separates in front and differs in
width. The collar may be overlapped and
buttoned, meet at the center front, or
extended to any length around the
neckline. The edge can be curved,
blunted, pointed, or extended for a
partial fold.
Collar with Stand/Shirt Collar – basic
collar that is characterized as a mandarin
collar with an attachment on its top edge.

3.
4. Roll Collar – A bias-fold collar for any
neckline (basic or a wider neckline). The
finished length should be slightly shorter
than the area covered to give way for the
stretch of the bias fabric.

DRESS

Dresses are garments which can be

classified as dress with a waistline seam and
dress without a waistline seam. Dresses are
garments that is so versatile that you could
wear them on any occasion depending on its
style and appropriateness for the event.

3 Basic Dress Foundations (Left to Right):

1. Sheath – fitted with a series of double darts
2. Shift – semi-fitted with a series of single
darts.

3.

PANTS
The bloomer was the very first
divided, bifurcated, pants for ladies.
In fashion history, it deemed
inappropriate for women to wear
pants. As pants symbolizes men’s
labor and going to war. Aside from
that, women who wore pants are
accused of rebels. Only skirts and
dresses were women’s casual wear.

18
Pants Design Variations:

Pants Illustration Pants Name

1. Culottes – When pants were still in
development, women started to ride
bikes. Which then led to the
development of culottes which were
functional and ladylike. Otherwise
known as the divided skirt. This
provided the wearer with great
mobility.
2. Trouser – it is a pant that hangs
straight downward from the
outermost part of thee abdomen
and buttocks. It fits closer to the
body compared to a culotte.

3. Slacks – it fits closer to the figure

than does the trouser because of
shorter crotch extensions, which
slightly cups the buttocks.

4. Jeans – it has a short front and

back crotch extension for pants that
contour the figure.

19
SLEEVES
Sleeves are a part of a garment that wholly or partly covers the
wearer’s arm. Throughout the history of fashion, sleeves were used to
change the silhouette of the garment. There were big puffy sleeves back
then, but the sleeve sizes begin to become shorter and smaller in time.

Sleeve Design Variations:

Sleeve Cuffs – is a piece of
garment sewn at the end of the
sleeve which hugs the wrist or any
part of the arm, depending on how
long the sleeve is.
Cap Sleeves – are short sleeves
which are designed to jut away
from the arm or conform the shape
of the arm.
Puff Sleeves – are added with
fullness. The gathers could be seen
on the hemline, the capline, or
both.

Bell Sleeves – it has a smooth cap

and a hemline which flares out into
the shape of a bell.

whose basic shape hangs from the
hipline or the waistline to the hem
which is changed by increasing or
decreasing the sweep of the
hemline, moving the skirt closer or
away from the figure, or lowering or
Figure 7 Skirt Length
