ELEMENTS OF GARMENT DESIGN
In creating a design one of the components that interact is the element of
design. The elements and principles of design are flexible and should be interpreted
within the context of current fashion. A design can be defined as an arrangement of
lines, shape color and texture that create a visual image.

Let us find out if you can identify the following pictures of elements of design.

emphasis informal balance harmony asymmetric proportion

What is it
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

The principles of designs are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural
elements of design. These are ways in which these principles are applied the affects
the expressive content, or the message of the work.

Principles of Design

Balance – according to the principle, from the centered of the dress, design
should be from on both sides may be achieved.

8
 a. Symmetrically or the formal balance - can
be described as having equal "weight" on
equal sides of a centrally placed like a see
saw. This is an easy way of balancing but
such balance lends monotony to the design.

b. Asymmetrically or the informal balance –

When The structure decoration and
accessories are different both sides from the
center of the design. In this design attraction
both side is created by using different
accessories.

c. Proportion - is the pleasing relationship of all

parts of the object with one another.
Proportion refers to the spatial or size
relationship of all the parts in a design to
each other and to the whole. Also called
“scale”

Emphasis – every pleasing design has one part that

is more interesting than any other. This is the
emphasis or the center of interest.

Rhythm – these are smooth movement repeated

again and again. Rhythm is an important principle of
art. It is created by repeated use of the design. If
there is rhythm in a design, the eye would move
easily from one part to the other.

9
Rhythm can be created in three ways in a design:

a. Repetition of lines, colors, or accessories.

Parallel lines are formed by the use of seams,
buttons, embroidery, lace, etc. which helps
uninterrupted eye movement.

b. Radiation. Rhythm can also be created by

the radiated lines. These lines are created by
gathers Eyes can move easily from one part
to the other on the small lines created by
gathers. Such lines can be seen in gathers on
neckline, arm and skirt.

c. Gradation. Rhythm can be created by

gradual change of lines, shape or shade of
the color.

Harmony - means a relationship of different

portion of a design. Harmony is
accomplished by the repetition of a particular
design element, such as color, shape,
texture, etc… that harmony is what creates
the sense of unity.

COLOR HARMONY IN THE CLOTHES

Color coordination is one of the most important things when it comes to style.
Understanding color theory can make life easier when matching clothing. Color
wheel is the key tool for any color combination.

The Color Wheel, which was develop

by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666, is the basis for all
color theory. The twelve basic colors are the
“hues”.

Primary Colors – the sources of all colors, even though there are thousands and
thousands of colors in the world, they are all made up of these colors – red, blue and
yellow.
Secondary Colors – are produced when mixing two equal amount of primary colors.
If you mix equal amount or yellow and blue you will have green, equal parts of red and
blue will have violet, and red and yellow you will have orange.
Intermediate Colors – are produced by mixing two equal amount of primary and
secondary colors. Example, if you mix equal parts of yellow (primary color) and green
(secondary color) you will have yellow-green. Noticed that yellow-green is found
between yellow and green on the color wheel. Look at the color wheel you will find the
intermediate colors.
The intermediate colors are;
Yellow + green = yellow-green Red + violet = red-violet
Blue + green = blue-green Red + orange = red-orange
Blue + violet = blue-violet Blue + orange = blue-orange

Pure Colors – are the primary, secondary and intermediate colors because they have
no white, black and gray in them. Pure colors are also called ―normal, true and basic
colors.
Tints – when pure colors are mixed with white, they are made lighter. Example, when
white is added to red you have pink. In other words pink is a tint of red. The more white
you add, the lighter the pink will be. Tints are also called ―pastels.
Shades – when pure colors are mixed with black, they are made darker. Example,
when black is added to red you have maroon, a shade of red. The more black you
add, the more darker you have.
Grayed colors – most colors we used in clothes are grayed colors rather than bright,
pure colors you see on the color wheel. Grayed colors are also referred to as ―soft
colors‖ or ―dull colors‖. The more gray you add, the more duller the color will be.

11
Neutrals – are white, black and gray. They look well with another and with all other
colors. The more grayed colors becomes, the more different colors it will harmonize
with.
Warm and Cool Colors Cool colors – are green, blue-green, blue, blue-violet, violet.
Blue is the coolest color. They are adjacent to one another in the color wheel. Warm
colors – are red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, and orange. Red is the warmest
color. They are also adjacent in the color wheel.
Qualities of Colors
Hue – is the family group name of a color. It is the name of a color. Ones they are
combined differently and given new names.
Value – refers to the lightness or the tint or the darkness of the shade. The scale of
the value colors are from the very lightest tint to the very darkest of the shade.

NOTE: Always refer to color wheel for the easiest way to understand how
different colors work together to ensure your outfits perfectly matched.

Color Schemes

The beauty of any color scheme depends upon how well the colors
harmonize. To harmonize, colors must appear to belong together.

1. One-color harmony (monochromatic

color) – created by putting different
values, hues, tints and shades in one
color. All of the colors of orange in the
outfits are different shades, values,
hues or tints.

2. Adjacent color harmony – or

analogous color harmony. Created by
tree or more colors that are adjacent to
each other into an outfit. In the
example the model is wearing purple,
purple-red, which are all next to each
other or adjacent to each other in the
color wheel.

3. Complementary Color Harmony –

these are colors that are opposite in
the color wheel. Using these colors
may be very pleasing.

12
 a. Complementary colors – created
by putting together two colors from
the opposite sides of the color
wheel. In the example the color of
the garments blue and orange are
opposite side of the color wheel.

b. Split complementary colors – a

variation of the complementary
color scheme. In addition to the
base color, it uses the two colors
adjacent to its complement

c. Triad – a triadic color

scheme created by using
three colors that are an equal
distance apart” from each
other on the color wheel. This
outfit is an example of a triadic
color scheme because blue,
yellow, and the shade of red
are all the same distance
apart from each other.

How to Dress Appropriately

Aside from the principles of design there are also some guidelines to
follow or to consider on how to dress appropriately

Body Type – focus first on how your clothes fit. Because our body changed as we
grow it is essential to understand the shapes and silhouettes that work best and how
they evolve over time.
Occasion – clothes and colors should fit the occasion where they are worn and be
sure what your wearing is appropriate for the occasion and your lifestyle.
Age – age should also be taken into consideration. With age comes a level of
sophistication so young girls may wear bright colors, for this youthful hues may
flattering to their age while the older one may wear gray or dull colors.
Color of the Skin – the color of the skin is the first determinant in the choice of clothes.
Dark person should not wear colors that will emphasize their dark skin or make them
look ludicrous.
Personality of the Wearer – clothes and their colors should harmonize with the
personality of the wearer.

Garment Specification Sheet
A garment specification sheet is a technical document that contains the
construction details of the product, a technical diagram/sketch of the garment,
measurements of the product. Specification sheet are the blueprint of the product.
