Make a reflection on how a body measurement has a great impact in wearing our daily clothes.

Having an accurate body measurement, we can wear clothes that fit to us. Taking right body measurements is an important step in sewing clothes for us and for others. Through our body measurement, we will be able to know what are the exact sizes that we should wear if it is, small, medium, and large and etc. And for a tailoring shop, it should have also an accurate body measurement of a customer because it is vital for them. Without taking the exact body measurements, the fabric material can run out of supply if the tailor uses it too much. So when body measurements are taken accurately, the tailor will know the exact amount of material to be used in a dress. Sometimes they can even save the unused material for the other clothes stuff in designing. That is why it’s so important to know what you’re true sizes are. Because of this, we can decide what the clothes that we are wearing every day are. However, in today’s generation, there are a lot of people who are wearing oversize shirts, pants, dresses, shorts and etc. Why they are wearing clothes that are not fit to their exact body measurement? Maybe because, they are adopting what are the trends that they see or observed in their community. They are just trying to be cool and fabulous at the same time. As we observe also in every store that who are selling clothes, the designs that they posting or selling are new to us and that is why people are loved to buy clothes especially when clothes are branded and in a trend. But we should also bear in our minds that taking an accurate body measurement is important especially in a school uniform because if you will not follow the exact body measurement you will not look descent in your attire or in your school uniform. Not just school uniforms but also those important clothes that you wear every day in your job.

What important details should be kept in mind in dress designing?

The important details that we should be kept in our mind in dress designing are, first the colour. Colour because, in dress designing or in a fashion designing they look first what is the best colour that they used. Second is the silhouette, silhouette is one of the most important elements of fashion design. It has the basic shape, outline and style of the clothing. Third is the fabric, in a dress designing the type of fabric you choose for a design is very important because it represents how it will shape or look like. Fourth are balance and rhythm. By this you will be able to know the symmetry in the shapes, colours, style, and lines in a dress design, because when you have a proportionate and appropriate combination of lines, shapes, colours and texture in your design it can be result in different rhythms in your design. Fifth emphasis, because it gives an elements of design be more attractive and passion able to use, and it will brings attention to something beautiful to a design. Sixth are the design lines, it shows the shape of the waistline, neckline, and hemline.

Write a reflection about your design

As you can see in the picture above, my dress design is just simple. This dress is can be worn in any. It is a long sleeve type of dress with a V-shaped neckline and with a belt in the waist. The camouflage figure defects that I’ve chose are the first slim and tall figures because if you are a tall and slim type of woman this design will see what your exact body figure is. Second with small hips. This dress can look you have big hips because of the design. As you can see in the picture above there is a side pocket such as pockets, peplums, or drapes that will add width to the hips. Third figures with the short upper body, I chose this defect because this dress design can look better if you have a short upper body because these dropped waisted dresses that fall below the hipline are used to create an illusion of length on the upper body. And if you are long-legged women it is a nice dress for you to wear. Fourth, figures with wide shoulders, because there is a V-shaped or long neckline that will probably break the width of the shoulder. Lastly figures with short necks, about the figure with wide shoulders, yes it looks nicer if you have a short neck when you wear this because it has an open V-shaped neckline that will probably see your collar bones and chest. Lastly figures with wide shoulders, this is how I present and describe my design. We all know that fashion design is an exciting field. And it also takes a lot of work and be creative in the same way. Since I don’t have a passion for designing I can say that if you want to become a successful fashion designer in your way, you need to learn about drawing, learn about sewing, learn about designing, learn about fashion and learn about technology and resources as well.
