 Lesson Overview

How do you know when a design is good or bad? When the design is pretty
that means it’s good. The human race universally wears articles of clothing-also known
as dress, garments, or attire-on the body in order to protect it against the adverse
climate conditions. In its broadest sense, clothing is defined as the coverings of the
torso and limbs, as well as the coverings for the hands, feet and head. Elements and
Principles of design form the integral part of every designed work. They are discussed
in almost every beginning of design course with basic terminology for understanding
the concept of design. Clothing items are not only assessed by the senses, but also
with emotions and minds. In dressmaking, the tailor or the dressmaker needs to
consider the designing of clothes base on the intended purpose of the customer. It is
noteworthy that designing is the most essential aspect of dressmaking. It therefore
means that one cannot make an aesthetically pleasing garment without the knowledge
and understanding of the Principles and Elements of design. The principles of design
are essential to the development and production of clothing used by individuals and
families around the world. When a garment or ensemble uses the elements and
principles of design to create a visual unity, harmony is achieved. Garments often
integrate more than one principle, while drawing from the elements of design to create
a cohesive look.

 Importance of Clothes

1. Protection:
Our skin is uncovered and exposed. We can be easily
affected by the elements-rain, snow, wind, cold, and heat. We
can be harmed or injured on the job or while participating in
sports. In some cases, we need to protect us with our clothing.
Clothing aids to your comfort. It absorbs perspiration,
prevents sudden chills, and acts as a buffer between your
body and accidental burns, scratches, and rough surfaces.
The right garments can insulate your body against extremely
hot or extremely cold temperatures.

2. Safety:
Clothing also serves to protect your skin from harm or
injury. Some sports and occupations require protective
clothing for safety reasons. Football players wear helmets
and protective padding to help prevent injury during rough
play. Some people’s work requires them to be in dangerous
or hazardous conditions. Clothing can offer protection. Some
items are even labeled with the term “safety” to identify them
from regular day-to-day clothes and accessories.
Fire-fighters wear asbestos clothing in hazardous situations. Police officers
wear bulletproof vests. Road workers wear florescent orange vests so that drivers
can see them easily and prevent accident. .

3.Sanitation:
Special clothing and accessories are often worn for
sanitation reasons. People who work in factories that
produce food and medical products wear sanitary clothing,
face masks, and hair covering. This precaution prevents
contamination of the products by germs. In operating rooms,
doctors and nurses wear special disposable sanitary
uniforms, gloves, and face masks.

8
4.Modesty:
Modesty refers to what people feel is the
proper way for clothing to cover the body. Different
groups of people may have different standards of
modesty. For example, Clothes that a woman might
wear to a fancy party would probably be
unacceptable at work the next.

5. Identification:
Clothing can also identify people as members of a
group. Certain types of clothing, colors, and accessories
have become representative of certain groups, activities,
and occupations. Or by simply dressing alike, people can
show that they belong to the same group. Example: Air
Crews, Air hostess, Doctors, Pilots, etc.

6.Status:
Kings and queens wear crowns to set them apart from the rest of their subjects.
Their crowns indicate their status, or position or rank within a group. Clothes and other
accessories are used by people to show their level of importance. They may also be
used to give the wearer a sense of feeling important. Status symbols are clothes or
other items that offer a sense of status for the ordinary person. Usually these items
are more expensive or the latest in design. For some people, status symbols can be
fur coats, expensive jewelry, or designer clothes.

9
7. Decoration:
People decorate themselves to enhance
their appearance. They wear clothes, jewelry, and
cosmetics in hopes of improving their looks and
attracting favorable attention. Adornment, or
decoration, also helps people to express their
uniqueness and creativity. Clothing and
accessories can be used to improve appearance in
different ways. Clothing can also be decorated to
make it special and unique.

8. Style and Choice:

The type of figure that you have, its proportion and characteristics, should be
given due consideration when choosing your own garment designs. Determine which
are your good and bad features and look for a design that enhances the good features
and camouflage the body irregularities.

Disguising faults naturally gives emphasis to the better points of a figure.

Selecting a style which you find attractive but does not suit you is a mistake that should
be avoided.

It is important to consider the practicality of the style and the function for which
the garment is intended for. Other considerations include color, texture of the fabric,
line arrangement and shape.
