What things are important to consider when purchasing clothes? Lifestyle/Activities Amount you can spend Needs vs. Wants Quality and fit How to care for it What looks good on you – color & style

Factors that Influence Clothing Decisions: Physical needs require protecting your body Weather environmental dangers occupational hazards.

Some Examples: Weather – Protection from heat, cold, rain, snow…Scarves, Hats, Coats, Gloves. Environmental - Life jackets for safety, beekeepers hoods, hiking boots prevent slips. Occupational Hazards – Bulletproof vests, brightly colored and reflective for road workers, masks and gloves for health care workers.

Clothes can also meet a psychological need: Imagine: You’re wearing soft, baggy sweatpants and a large hoodie on a rainy day. How do you feel? Colors, textures, and styles can affect how you actually feel.

Choosing clothing for different occasions Formal wear – for a wedding or prom. Career wear - for an interview school, or work. Clothes can hold you back…Wear clothes, don’t let them wear you.

Career Wear

Where might you wear this?

Social Needs and Clothing: While in school, clothing allows students a way to fit in or stand out. An example would be when a teen wears a certain brand of clothing to conform to others who also wear that brand. Clothes can serve to identify groups. We are Vikings; when we wear red and blue, we identify with NFHS.

More on Group Identification Uniforms are an example of a distinct way to identify members of a group. Example: Military personnel, private schools, sports teams, Sororities, or Fraternities.

Societal Dress Codes There are informal dress codes in society. Modesty is defined as the proper way to cover ones body in various settings. “No shoes, No Shirt, No Service” Some religions have more strict dress codes because their standards of modesty are more conservative.

Status Is a person’s rank within a group. Clothing can show status. Status is showing off logos like Nike, Polo, Gucci, etc. Wearing the label says “I maintain a certain socioeconomic status” Is this always true?

Individuality vs. Conformity

11.03 Suggest specific techniques for care of clothing Teen Living

What is clothing made up of? Good fashion has a combination of the elements and principles of design.

Lines Vertical lines tend to make the body look taller and thinner because they cause the eye to move up and down. Horizontal lines tend to make the body look shorter and wider because they move the eye from side to side. Diagonal lines add movement and make a garment more exciting.

Colors White, bright, and light colors tend to make the body to visually stand out and make the body appear larger (advancing) Dark colors recede or make the body appear smaller.

Textures Texture of fabric refers to the way the fabric looks and feels. Stiff and crisp textures have the ability to make the body appear larger or hiding flaws in a body shape. Rough and bulky textures make the body look larger.

Soft and silky textures slenderize a figure but also reveal a silhouette and are good for those who have few body flaws. Dull textures absorb light and are slenderizing. Shiny Textures reflect light and increase the appearance of the body.

Pattern Patterns should be in proportion to a person’s body size. EX:Large patterns can overwhelm a small frame, while small patterns are lost on a large frame.

Color Assignment Chapter 20 – 2 (begins page 534) Complete Color as a Design Element (p. 11 ) Complete You as the designer (p. 12) Color each garment as described. Use color wheel and color scheme definitions (p. 536-537)

Two ways you can learn about your clothing: 1. Hang Tags – Are larger tags attached to new garments. Are removed before wearing. Include pricing information, style, size. 2. Permanently attached labels (or printed in ink)- Mandated to be included by the “Care Labeling Rule” and include information about the clothing such as fiber content.

Permenant labels

Care Labels Care labels provide helpful information that can save you time and money. Knowing how to read them can keep your clothes safe! Cleaner, fresher clothes means longer-wearing apparel. Knowing the symbols can help you when you sort laundry.

Temperature of water used. Labels should include three pieces of information for clothing that will be laundered: Temperature of water used. For example – Cold water Temperature of iron. For example – Low heat Any other warnings For example – No Bleach

Why is knowing the fiber content helpful? It helps you know how to care for the garment, It tell you how well it will wear, And it tells you how comfortable it will be.

Natural Fibers – Come from plants or Animals Cotton – From a Cotton Plant Linen – From a Flax Plant Wool – From a Sheep Silk – From a Silkworm

Silkworm cocoons:

Synthetic Fibers – Manufactured from chemical elements Acrylic Nylon Polyester Vinyl Spandex

5 Steps to Clean Clothes! Gather your materials Separate & evaluate your clothes Wash your clothes Dry your clothes Fold your clothes

Step 1 - Gather Materials Detergent Two kinds…bottles (liquid) or boxes (powder) Bleach Used to make your WHITES brighter Use ONLY with WHITE colored clothing and linens Fabric Softener Eliminates static cling Makes clothes soft Two forms Liquid…added during the wash cycle Sheet…added during the dry cycle

Fabric Softner Please note that liquid fabric softener is DIFFERENT from liquid detergent…if you use this form of softener you must also use detergent!!! Examples…Bounce, Downy, Snuggles

Step 2 – Why Separate? Separate and Evaluate Your Clothes Separate your clothes by color Separating helps protect the color and durability of your garment Should an accident occur the damage cannot be undone! What would happen if a red sock got mixed into white towels? Look at the care labels

Sorting Whites Lights Darks Delicates Basic t-shirts, white socks, sheets, pillowcases and other plain white clothing/linens Lights Everything from pastels to striped or patterned whites A white item with enough color (logo/pattern) to make you think doesn’t fit with the whites Darks Dark socks, shirts, all jeans, dark pants Newly dark clothing should be washed alone first Delicates Wool garments, sweaters, satin, undergarments These can be washed in a machine but hand-washing is usually better.

What to evaluate? Pockets Zippers Ties (hoodies/drawstrings/etc) Are they empty? Zippers Are they up? (This prevents snagging) Ties (hoodies/drawstrings/etc) Should be tied to prevent losing them or getting them tangled

Step 3 Wash This is the easy part Pre-treat any visible stains Select your cycle Add your detergent to the machine

Setting Your Machine Some require you to set the temperature (of the water) others ask you to set a cycle WHITES “hot” cycle…vigorous agitation, hot water rinse LIGHTS & DARKS “warm” or “permanent press”…mild agitation, extra cool water rinse cool water protects the colors DELICATES “delicate” or “cold” cycle…extremely short and gentle agitation spin cycle

A last few tips… When in doubt…read the care label! 2 problems that arise Overloading the machine Fill the machine ½ to ¾ full Using too much detergent

Step 4 Drying your nice clean clothes Clean the lint filter Add dryer sheets Unload clothes from washer Inspect stains…the heat in the dryer will bake it in!

More drying… Overloading…why is this a problem Most cycles last 30-40 minutes Jeans/towels take longer Take light cotton items out early to avoid wrinkles Dry for too long=shrinking!!! Hang delicates to dry Helps them maintain shape

Step 5 Folding…the last task! Begin immediately…avoids wrinkling Don’t hang sweaters (they will lose shape and take the form of the hanger) Iron/Hang button down shirts

IRONING VS. PRESSING Ironing is what we do before we put on clothes, that are wrinkled. SLIDE your iron back and forth on the fabric with pressure. Pressing is for sewing. Place the iron down on fabric, then lift it back up in quick intervals. Repeat this up and down motion, overlapping as you go.

A GUIDE TO STUDY HOW TO CHOOSE AND COMBINE COLORS COLOR WHEEL A GUIDE TO STUDY HOW TO CHOOSE AND COMBINE COLORS

PRIMARY HUES Cannot be made from any other colors RED YELLOW BLUE Cannot be made from any other colors All other colors are made from these

SECONDARY COLORS Made by mixing equal amounts of 2 primary colors Found halfway between the primary hues on the wheel + ORANGE = + = GREEN + = VIOLET

INTERMEDIATE (TERTIARY) HUES Made by mixing equal amounts of adjoining primary and secondary colors.

THE COLOR WHEEL CAN BE DIVIDED INTO WARM AND COOL COLORS

COOL COLORS WARM COLORS Appear hot like the sun or like fire Appear to advance-they make body look larger Remind us of water/sky/restfulness Appear to recede and make body look smaller COOL COLORS

MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEME tints, shades and intensities of the color BLUE

This color scheme of neighboring colors on the color wheel. ANALOGOUS This color scheme of neighboring colors on the color wheel.

COMPLEMENTARY COLOR SCHEME These colors are across from each other on the wheel and have great contrast.

Color Wheel Assignment Now it’s your turn to create your own edible color wheel! Using the tubs of PRIMARY color icing, take a small amount of each icing and 12 mini wafers and “paint” a wheel. Place each finished wafer on the color wheel print out. Let me see it before you eat it!
