BRIEF INTRODUCTIONN
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. 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.

LESSON 1.1-CORE CONCEPT IN DRESSMAKING

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the learner is expected to:
1. Explain core concepts in dressmaking
2. Analyze the relevance of the course
3. Explore in opportunities for dressmaking as a career

Career - an occupation undertaken for a significant period of

a person’s life and with opportunities for
progress.
Dressmaker - a person whose job is making women’s clothing.
Fashion designer - someone who designs clothing.
Seamstress - a woman who sews, especially one who earns her
living by sewing.
Tailor - a person whose occupation is making fitted clothes
such a suits, pants, and jackets who fit individual customers.

Dressmaker Career Outlook

Dressmakers who do reliable and skillful work, however, particularly
in the areas of mending and alterations, should be able to find employment.
Today, the precise skills of dressmakers are still in demand at
factories, stores, and small shops. Dressmakers may run their own business
or work in small shops. Some work out from their home.

5
 The Relevance of Dressmaking Courses
The relevance of dressmaking courses is
humungous for the ones who want to make a
career out of it or just like to have some basic
stitching and sewing skills handy. As we all know
that a little skill set or practice goes a long way in
no matter what we do and if one is looking at it
with career perspective, it is important to get
hands over the basics first. For anyone who wants
to be a fashion designer getting enrolled in any
good dressmaking course would act as a great
beginning. Not only these courses help one have
hands over the basics but also bring out that
confidence to think creatively and then turn
those thoughts into a final product.

Some basic reasons why the ones who are in love with dressmaking
should get enrolled in the best of dressmaking courses are:

having awareness of the latest fabric, stitching and dressmaking

trends and this helps one in crafting out something exemplary each
time
With ample of knowledge coming from the courses the learners tend to
learn quick and smart and this is what helps them create out
creations that are unique and have their own personal touch
The dressmaking courses tend to set the basics right by providing in
all that training required in stitching, fabric selection and clothing
repair
These courses help learners gain complete familiarity with all those
tools, supplies and parts so that they can take these the way
they want
The learner will have the confidence to explore and experiment

Now that the relevance of dressmaking courses is well known, it is

imperative to understand that these benefits can only be realized if the
course is chosen wisely and for this a good school that has been in the niche
can be chosen.
The learner of this course must possess the characteristics of a person
who are inclined in dressmaking, the common competencies, and desirable
work habits and attitudes towards the completion of output. Learners are
expected to develop their knowledge and skills in Dressmaking.

LESSON 1.2 PRINCIPLES AND ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the learner is expected to:
1. Identify the Principles and Elements of Design
2. Apply the Principles and Elements of Design in Dress
Designing
3. Appreciate the importance of knowing how the
principles and elements of design apply in dress
designing

8
Color - property possessed by an object of producing different
sensation on the eye because of the way the object
reflects or emits light.
Design - an arrangement of lines or shapes created to form a
pattern or decoration.
Hue - a color or shade.
Stout - heavy build.
Value - the relative lightness or darkness of a color.

PRINCIPLES AND ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

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. 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
1. Proportion

Proportion in design involves the relationship of one

part to another. Uneven space relationships are more
interesting than even ones. 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.

2. Balance
Balance is the feeling of rest and equilibrium.

9
 2 kinds of Balance
a. Formal or Symmetrical Balance is achieved
when two sides of a design are alike on either side of its
vertical center.

b. Informal balance or Asymmetrical Balance

when the structure decoration and accessories are
different on both sides from the center of the design.

3. Harmony

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.

4. Emphasis
Emphasis means that one part of a design must be more
important than the other parts. The eye should go first to this
part. Good design in dress leads the eye to the most attractive
feature of face or figure.

5. Rhythm
Rhythm is the movement of the eye from one part of
the design to other parts. In clothing, curved lines tend to
be more rhythmic than straight lines because curved repeat
the lines of the figure.

Rhythm could be depicted through:

10
 a. Repetition 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.

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.

c. Radiation creates a feeling of movement

indifferent directions. This organized movement
originates from a central point of gathers, folds, tucks,
darts, pleats and lines. Direction of radiation maybe
in a similar or one direction, opposing direction or
both the directions, several directions and all
directions.

Elements of design
Design elements have an impact
on how a piece of work is perceived,
executed, and used—and are present
in design regardless of skill, taste, or
style.

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.

11
 b. Vertical - gives the impression
of height.

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. A design suggests the contours
of the body.

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.

4. Shape
- Clothes reveal or disguise the
natural body contour or shape.
Choosing the right clothing shapes
will make the person more flattering.

5. 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. 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.

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
broader.
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.
4. Contrast and accent should be done with care. A little accent,
perhaps a touch of red on many blue at the throat or shoulder is
smarter than a repeated accent.

16
 Color Schemes
The beauty of any color scheme depends upon how well the colors
harmonize. To harmonize, colors must appear to belong together.
1. Monochromatic color – the easiest color scheme to follow is one
that uses the same color in different values and intensity.
2. Adjacent or Analogous color harmony – near to each other on the
color wheel.
3. Complementary colors – colors that are opposite in the color wheel.
4. Triad – a triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced
around the color wheel.
