What is It

Principles and Elements of Design

To create, recognize, or criticize dress design or any object of art, one must
understand the basic principles of design as well as its elements. To achieve
effectively what is pleasing not just to the eyes of the beholder but brings confidence
and grace to our personality, the use of principles and elements of design is aligned
to the dresses we must be wearing. Understanding better the principles and elements
of design is a great factor that will contribute a lot to our personality development.

5
 Art and design are the application of skill and taste that make a thing
beautiful. It is a fact that our clothes are worn for their artistic qualities which make
us more attractive and confident. Clothes are worn to emphasize the good points and
hide the defects or imperfection of our physical trait.

Principles of Design

Good outfit should have proportion, balance, harmony, emphasis and rhythm
to express art principles. The law of area states that the division should be ½ and
2/3 of an area, and that equality in proportion should always be avoided.

1. Proportion is the principle of art that refers to relative size. ... Most, if not all of
the principles of art deal with how the elements art are arranged in a work of art.
Proportion is largely about the relationship of the size of one element when
compared to another

Proportion in art is the comparative harmonious relationship between two or more

elements in a composition with respect to size, color, quantity, degree, setting

6
 COLUMN OF COLOR USING RULE OF THE THIRDS

Pictures showing proper proportion in dress

In choosing accessories, proportion should always be considered. For

example, a woman with large facial features would not choose a small bag or a small
hat which will make her feature even larger, or vice-versa.

There should be balance- either formal or Asymmetrical balance. The heavier

weight must be placed nearer the center. If there is proportion and balance in a dress,
there is a feeling of harmony. There is uniformity and order in the design, there is
unity and similarity rather than contrast.

2. Balance is the feeling of rest and equilibrium. This is essential to the total
design of a costume.

7
 a. Formal or Symmetrical Balance is achieved when two
sides of a design are alike on either side of its vertical
center. Balance in the use of color is essential for a
pleasing effect. The Law of Areas requires that the large
areas of color should be low in intensity. A small area of
intense color will balance a large area of dulled color. A
very dark value such as black or charcoal gray may be
balanced by a small amount of pure white. Medium gray
requires a larger area of a pale gray to achieve balance.

b. Informal balance or Asymmetrical Balance is achieved

by using space, color, and the varying importance of
objects to produce a feeling of rest. It is more difficult to
achieve than formal balance, but it lends itself to more
interesting arrangements. A dress with side draping on
the skirt might have a jeweled pin or a flower on the
opposite side of the bodice to produce informal balance.

c. Radial Balance When major parts of the garment design

radiate from the central part of the garment, creating a
sunburst.

3. Harmony is the pleasing combination of hues, values, and intensities. The color
wheel is presented so that you will learn the arrangement and relationship of
colors to the proper dress that is best for your feature. Given as follows are
illustrations of women wearing monochromatic harmony feature. Given as follows
are illustrations of women wearing monochromatic harmony.

Dress Design with Harmony

4. Emphasis means that one part of a design must be more important than the other
parts. The eye should go first to this part. A repetition of line or placement of color
is applied to achieve emphasis. A design which is too “busy” loses its point of
emphasis and becomes confusing. Good design in dress leads the eye to the most
attractive feature of face or figure.

Dress Design with Emphasis

5. Rhythm is the movement of the eye from one part of the design to other parts.
Repetition of a line or shape is one of the most common ways of attaining rhythm.
In clothing, curved lines tend to be more rhythmic than straight lines because
curved repeat the lines of the figure.

Dress Design with Rhythm

Rhythm could be depicted through:

a. Repetition- Rhythm could be achieved by repetition or regular recurrence of

motifs of design, shapes, buttons, tucks, pleats, laces, edgings, color, textures,
fabric designs etc. This can be done with all parts having the same shaped
edges.

9
 Dress Design with Rhythm by Repetition

b. Progression- Rhythm is also created by progression or by gradation.

Gradation implies a gradual increase or decrease of similar design elements.
The gradual changes provide continuity while giving a feeling of movement.
Example: Colors can go from light to dark or textures from fine to coarse or
vice versa, shapes may range from small to large, and lines may range from
thin to thick.

Dress Design with Rhythm by Progression

c. Transition- Transition is a fluid rhythm created when a curved line leads the
eye over an angle. The curved lines of transition cause the eye to change
direction gradually rather than abruptly. Transitional lines and shapes sweep
and glide over the figure in an undulating rhythm leading the eye gracefully
and easily from one area or direction to another. They are found in dropped
shoulder designs, puff sleeves and cap sleeves, etc.

Dress Design with Transition

10
 d. Radiation- Rhythm by radiation creates a feeling of movement in different
directions. This organized movement originates from a central point of
gathers, folds, tucks, darts, pleats and lines. Direction of radiation may be in
a similar or one direction, opposing direction or both the directions, several
directions and all directions.

Dress Design with Rhythm by Radiation

e. Continuous line movement -This type of rhythm is obtained by flowing lines
of trims, bands of color, fabric designs etc., which make the eye move in a
continuous line. This movement also unifies the garment design bringing
about harmony.

Dress Design with Rhythm by continues line movement

In clothing, the best structural design follows the natural body lines.
Decorative design gives emphasis to certain areas. Fact is when we attempt to clarify
our figure types, we realize that only few has the perfect or in average figure type.
The tall, thin girl seemed to be the ideal fashion figure nowadays. But no matter what
figure type we may have, the lines of our figure will determine what designs are most
appropriate for us.
In determining whether or not some new fashion is suitable for you, consider
carefully the design of the garment. Do not wear a garment that does not suit your
personality. The color must be appropriate to your skin tone as well as to the kind of
occasion. Understand and apply the design properly, in this manner you will
confidently be a well-dressed person.

11
Types of Design

a. Structural Design are formed by the arrangement of lines, forms, colors, and
textures. If these four elements are carefully arranged and applied on the materials
used, they will create beauty to the finished garment. In a garment of solid-colored
fabric, its structural design is its silhouette, neckline, placement of the waistline,
sleeves, length, and location and fitting of darts and tucks.

Dress with Structural Design

b. Decorative Design refers to the surface enrichments of a structural design. Its

decorative design may consist of unusual buttons, a belt buckle, a contrasting
collar and cuffs.

Dress with decorative design

Structural design is far more important than decorative design since every
garment has it, while decorative design may or may not be added. Simplicity is the
keynote to beauty. In a good design there should be balance, harmony, rhythm,
proportion and emphasis. Their elements are line, form, texture, color and shape.

12
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. Lines
may be horizontal, vertical, straight, curved, diagonal, radiating, down
sweeping, up-sweeping, or angular, and they are capable of creating
interesting illusions.
a. Horizontal- gives the impression of shorter and heavier. b. Vertical – gives
the impression of height.

Lines in dress
Within the design of a composition, there are three main groups of lines:
lines of repetition which follow each other, contrasting lines which go at
opposite angles or in different directions, and transitional lines which modify or
soften contrasting lines. A curved line between two opposing lines illustrates a
transitional line. Lines of repetition create the closest harmony, whereas
contrasting lines create the least harmony, and transitional lines give a
qualifying effect which allow opposing lines to be used together with less
startling effect.

2. Form
Form refers to the shape of an object as determined by line. In costume
design the silhouette is the term used to describe form which may repeat, may
contrast, or be transitional. When the lines of a dress repeat the form of the
body too closely, they produce an uncomfortable, restricting effect. At the other

13
 extreme, a silhouette which is completely opposed to the lines of the figure
distorts rather than enhances the total design. A design suggests the contours
of the body.

Dress Design with Form

3. Texture
The surface quality of a fabric comprises its texture. It appeals strongly to
the sense of touch, whether it is coarse, fine, smooth, rough, wrinkled, sleek,
glossy, slippery. Textures are affected by weave, finishes, and the nature of the
fibers and yarns used in weaving. Textures as well as lines can create illusions,
one must choose textures for clothes that will harmonize with the over-all design.

Texture affects color. A soft wool will give a quite different effect from the
gloss and sheen of the satin in the evening dress. Texture also affects the
apparent size of the design. Bulky, rough fabrics tend to increase the size of a
design, whereas smooth fabrics decrease it. A rough texture also dulls color,
but a shiny, smooth texture intensifies the hue. Textures used together in a
design should be harmonious. Some contrast is desirable to add interest, but too
great a contrast creates disunity. A velvet skirt worn with a silk crepe blouse
combines textures consistent in purpose. The same velvet skirt worn with a
cotton seer sucker blouse is unthinkable. Pig skin shoes and gloves worn with
a woolen suit create a pleasant costume. Patent leather accessories with an
embossed cotton summer dress make delightful accents in a harmonious
costume.

Dresses showing Different Texture

14
4. Shape
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.

Dresses showing shapes
5. Color
Color is light, and light contains within itself all the sun’s rays, and when
it is broken into wavelengths of light, a sensation is produced, upon the retina of
the eye which is called color. The eye responds to color the same as the ear
responds to music. One’s reaction to color are both physiological and
psychological. The varying properties of color can, like skillful use of line and
proportion, make a large object appear smaller, or a small object seem larger.
Some colors bring an object nearer, and others make it seem farther away. Colors
affect the emotions that is why sometimes you do not realize what has made you
cheerful, subdued or melancholy.

Color is a powerful element in our life. It has vibration, light and energy which
affects us.

15
Use of Color in Clothes

1. Black, dark tones or deeply grayed colors tend to make the figure appear
smaller or slimmer than bright or light colors.

2. A plain color makes the figure look slimmer than a combination of contrasting
colors. A two-tone effect broken across the figure makes it look shorter and

16
 broader. A lengthwise contrast helps to give an illusion of slenderness. Large
prints or plaids may make the figure appear large or heavier.

3. A very small figure should not wear over large designs in prints, plaids, or stripes;
the person with a large figure should avoid them as well as a too-dainty design.
This type should choose motifs that are moderate and avoid the conspicuous or
too sharply designed.

4. A very small figure should not wear over large designs in prints, plaids, or stripes;
the person with a large figure should avoid them as well as a too-dainty design.
This type should choose motifs that are moderate and avoid the conspicuous or
too sharply designed.

17
5. Contrast and accent should be done with care. A little accent, perhaps a touch of
red on many blues at the throat or shoulder is smarter than a repeated accent. If
you have a particular figure problem, such as large bust or hips, place your color
contrast in such a way that it draws away the eye and emphasize a good point.

The simplest harmony is the dominant harmony. It is a harmony of two or

more tones of one color or a harmony in which one color pervades such as tints
and shades of brown, tints and shades of green. They are found in nature.

Analogous harmony is a harmony of two or more colors alike in some ways

but different in others. It is based on the contrast in value. Examples are red, red-
violet, and violet.

A contrasting harmony is a combination of two colors which are different in

hue and which require a third color to bring them together. It is the hardest color
to combine. Examples are sage-green, cream, rose and black, black or gold, gray-
blue, red with black or gold

TWELVE COLORS WITH COMPLEMENTARY ACCESSORIES WHICH
WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA TO MAKE SUCCESSFUL CHOICE OF COLOR.

APPLY PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN IN CREATING GARMENT DESIGN

Isaac Newton in 1666, and has been used in the decorative arts ever since.
From painting and landscaping to fashion and home décor, you can use the color
wheel to determine which colors “go together” in any of your projects. It’s a fun, easy
way to breathe new life into your old favorites.
How can you do that?

The three primary colors are red, blue and yellow. Primary colors all go together…

19
When you mix them with each other, you get orange, green, and violet, which are
referred to as Secondary Color.

When you mix the three-secondary color with the three primary colors, you get six
Tertiary Color or Intermediate Colors, which are lighter variations of the secondary
colors.

COLOR SCHEME
A. Related Colors
1. Monochromatic Harmony- One color of different shade

20
 2. Analogous Harmony
Three neighboring colors, one of which is dominant or Colors that sit next to
each other on the color wheel are called Analogous Colors.

B. Contrasting Colors
1. Complementary Colors opposite each other in the color wheel. Each secondary
color sits directly opposite a primary color on the color wheel. That opposite
relationship is called Complementary Color.

2. Double Complementary- Two neighboring colors and their opposite colors

3. Split complementary color scheme is one where a primary color is used with the
two analogous colors to its complement. In this case, blue is matched up with
yellow and orange red. Orange is the direct complement to blue and orange red
and yellow are the analogs to orange.

21
3. Triad- The color in between three spaces in color wheel

These twelve basic Colors are called “Hues”. You can darken them with black
(“Shade”) mute them with gray(“tone”), or lighten them with white (“tint”) to get the
different variations of the same color.

So how does this translate to clothes?

You can wear black or white with any hue on the color wheel. That is why
black and white is often combined since they are so versatile. But if you take the tint
very light or the shade or tone very dark, it becomes harder to combine them with
black and white.

22
Classifications of Colors

According to some fashion designers, in wearing appropriate dress, we should

consider the Law of the Dressing Scheme which emphasizes the harmonious
combination of colors in costumes and the becomingness of the colors in bringing
out the charm of the eyes, hair, and skin tone of the wearer.

To bring out the best in our personality, the color of the eyes, hair and
complexion should always be considered. This determines that white complexioned
prefers the light colors, green is the best color and tints of orange, blue, and red
creamy, and white. Avoid brown, yellow and purple. Fair complexioned can wear light
or dark colors but should avoid medium values.

Colors which harmonizes with the hair and eyes are becoming like old rose,
deep reds, yellow gold. Avoid gray, blue gray, light and dark blue and olive green.
Pale faced should avoid brilliant colors. Yellow complexion needs light tan and
natural color and dark complexion can wear broken orange which adds life and
personality. Purple is hard to wear because it gives the complexion a muddy
appearance especially for the young girls but suitable for the gowns of older women.

Neutral and bright colors emphasize age, size, feature, and complexion and should
be selected carefully. Light colors express gaiety and daintiness while dark ones give
force and dignity.
