1. Choosing and Caring for Clothes
The Principles of Design
Chapter 19-3

2. Emphasis
The center of interest, or the focal point because it dominates or stands out from
contrast - clothing can be more interesting if there is difference in color, texture and shape (line) among objects (accessories)
repetition - repeating the shape, color, or line in a garment

3. Balance Objects arranged in even, pleasing ways
symmetrical - formal (identical or matching on both sides)
asymmetrical - informal (design is not the same on each side of the design center)

4. Proportion
The relationship of parts to each other and to the whole, based on the way space has been divided
scale - the relationship of the size of one thing to the size of another

5. Rhythm
When the parts of the design have been arranged so that your eye moves easily from one part of the design to another
repetition - repeating lines and shapes
progression - involves a series of similar objects ranging from small to large or large to small

6. Lines in Clothing
Silhouette - the shape formed by the outer lines of your clothing (probably the most important design line in clothing).
Structural lines - formed by seams and darts in the making of the garment.
