Project PPE (Portfolio Predicate on Exemplar) is a backup contingency response of the Schools
Division of Surigao del Sur for learning delivery and learning resource which parallel to the on-
going endeavors of the higher offices in the Department. It is the utilization of a lesson exemplar
that is streamlined in a teacher-and-learner-friendly format to cater to the new classroom setup in
light of the COVID-19 health crisis. These exemplars will be paired with a self-contained and
self-instructional portfolio.
The portfolio is a deliberate collection of works that highlight a learner’s effort that would enable
the him/her to see his/her growth and achievement, ability to reflect on his/her own work and
ability to establish goals for future learning.
Introductory Message
This exemplar was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from different
schools in the Division to assist you in helping the learners meet the standards anchored on Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) set by the Department while overcoming the
constraints in schooling brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the
needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.
As a teacher, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this exemplar in the most fit
modality. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning through portfolio assessments.
This exemplar was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for guided and
independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process the contents of
the learning resource while being an active learner, either at home or in school. To help you with
this, this exemplar comes with a Weekly Portfolio Assessment. Your teacher will provide you
with a template and you will be given a privilege to organize the portfolio in your own creative
way.

What is It
The process of making a garment is an orderly profession. It starts from the choice of design,
pattern, and fabric up to the construction of the garment. Professional dressmakers divide the
process into logical step-cutting-basting, constructing and finishing so they know exactly how
long it will take to make a given garment.
Determine Garment Cost. Cost of materials and supplies for the customer’s wardrobe
including the sewing service fee are estimated.
7
Perform Finishing Touches. It is the selection and application of appropriate finishes
in the pre-constructed garment where first fitting is done.
Check Quality of Finished Product. It is the stage in the garment construction, which
involves trimming of excess threads, pressing and proper packaging. This is where
final fitting is being done.
Many persons are particular about the clothes they wear. For instance, most professionals
strive to be well-dressed. They are conscious of what they wear for they believe that the
clothes they wear will spell out success in their field of work. Everyone should develop good
taste in the choice of clothes. This means that the person should be able to choose clothes that
are becoming to her and appropriate for different occasions.
A designer should realize that not all styles that are in vogue or popular in the fashion world
are the best styles. Dress designing should consider the individuality and personality of the
person.
There are two kinds of design in Garment Designing that sometimes vary from season to
season. Some seasons are heavy on decorative details and trims, and other seasons are
without adornment. The changes from one season to another on decorative and structural
details should be monitored closely. These designs are:
It encompasses the over-all construction of a dress, its shape and all the details involved in
pattern-making construction and the sewing construction of the dress, such as darts, seams,
pleats and tucks.
It involves the addition of decorative trims that includes buttons, braids, embroideries, bias
tapes, beads, sequins, ribbons, etc. on a dress.
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.
A skirt is another kind of free-hanging garment extending from the waist down.
8
There are several types of skirts:
Principles of Design
1. Proportion
Proportion is the relationship in size between various parts and the whole. Fashion designing
is a creative expression. Exact mathematical proportions are not required as long as what you
design is visually pleasing and in
accordance with the size, shape and height
of the bearer.
9
2. Balance
They are the formal or symmetrical balance, informal or asymmetrical balance and radial
balance.
formal or symmetrical
balance
10
informal or asymmetrical balance
Informal or asymmetrical balance is when the design is balanced, but each side
is different in some way. It is achieved when the two halves of a whole are different,
but seem to be equal in weight or emphasis. For example, a jacket with a breast
pocket on one side can be balanced by a pocket on the hip of the opposite side.
radial balance
Radial balance is achieved when all parts of the design are at equal distance from a
central point. A man wearing a sun design on the front of his shirt may have this kind
of design.
3. Emphasis
4. Rhythm
11
5. Harmony
Harmony is the pleasing and congruent arrangement of parts. It is the blending of all
components of design. When the structural lines, decorative lines, colors and accessories all
relate to each other comfortably, harmony results.
Elements of Design
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
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.
12
3. Color
4. Color is a radiant energy loosely termed light that produces sensation in our eyes. The
color of the dress easily attracts the client’s attention and becomes her basis in
choosing her apparel.
5. a. Hue is the other name for color. It is the particular shade of color that differentiates
one from another.
1. Primary colors are red, blue and yellow. They are the basic colors where
different colors originated.
2. Secondary colors are combinations of primary colors such that yellow and
blue produces green, red and blue produces violet, red and yellow produces
orange.
6. Intermediate colors stem from the combination of primary and secondary colors.
8. Neutral colors are the white, black and gray and are predominantly grayish and
brownish.
9. a. Value is the lightness or darkness of color. White added to a color will produce
tints. Black added to a color will produce shades.
10. b. Intensity or chroma is the chroma of a color corresponds to its purity and
saturation in a color other than black, white and gray.
12. White makes us feel clean and fresh. White connotes innocence and purity.
13. Red makes us feel bold and daring. Red connotes passion and bravery.
14. Yellow makes us feel joyful. It also connotes cowardice and treachery.
15. Blue represents truth, loyalty, calmness and wisdom. Deep blue could also make us
feel depressed.
16. Green suggests abundance as this is the color of plants, but green could also suggest
jealousy.
18. Orange is a warm color but suggests deliciousness and ripeness. Eateries, especially
fastfoods, use orange with a touch of green to stimulate appetite.
13
19. Black suggests strength and dignity and is usually worn for formal evening affairs.
Black also symbolizes mourning and death.
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 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.
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.
14
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. The
following are some of the figure types excerpt from the book of L. Belle Pollard, Experiences
with Clothing showing the becoming designs and unbecoming designs to different figure
types.

Pattern or Print of Fabric
Pattern or print of fabric is dress materials produced by interlacing lengthwise and crosswise
threads (weaving) knitting, and other methods of construction. Characteristics of fabrics that
affect their handling are the fiber, the type of construction, the weight, the width, the design,
the texture, and the finished fabric.
Most fabrics used in sewing are woven; some are knitted, and a few are pressed or bonded.
19
woven fabric
2. Knitted refers to the interloping of one or more sets of yarns which form a succession
of connected loops causing the stretchy quality of knits.
3. Pressed or bonded refers to non-woven fabrics like felt and pelon have no grain.
Pelon is used for interfacings.
There are several fabrics to choose from but a designer must be guided by the following
guide questions to help the client choose the fabric that will match the client’s preferences:
The answer to these questions will help you decide the kind of fabric to buy for your client’s
clothing that will complement to his/her personality.
The personality of the wearer shows the kind of image she projects. Personalities differ
depending on the kind of clothing people wear. Most introvert persons prefer clothes of
simple yet classical cut with pastel or light colors. Extroverts on the other hand are creative,
artistic, expressive and energetic. Hence, they prefer clothing that is comfortable, attractive
and fashionable. They can wear all kinds of clothing of varied style, colors and design with
confidence.
