Fashion designers learn the basic principles for designing items to go on the human body. Principles are guiding rules and fundamental ideas that anyone working in a field should know. In fashion design, there are several important principles, and they apply to both the garment's basic structure and its decoration.
2. PRINCIPLE OF DESIGN
Principal applied to through elements of design that bring them together into one
design how one applies these principal determines how successful a design.
Elements of design are organized according to principal of design to create a good
design or composition.
BALANCE EMPHASIS RHYTHM
CONTRAST HARMONY PROPORTION REPETATION
DOMINANCE GRADATION READATION UNITY
3. BALANCE
It is a state of equalized may not always be clam. Balance Accra when the visual wait of the
different part of a design are equally distributed as to created equally distributed as to
created equilibrium.
TYPE OF BALANCE IN DRESS

4. REPETITION
Repetition is the outward movement in all direction from a central point the powerful
movement spreading from the centre focuses interest on the centre as well as the
outer age. The placement of any radiation should carefully handed on dress it can be
produce negative effect. Line used at a similar angle or direction to each other.
5. RHYTHM
Regular repetition of or alternation in element to create cohesiveness and interest
rhythm is an organized motion and it’s a feature of a element because of which the
eye moves of garment rhythm.
TYPE OF RHYTM

6. HARMONY
HARMONY Acers when two or more qualities of a design are similar the design is
creating a felling consistency
7. PROPORATION
PROPORATION is the way all parts in a design relate to each other so that
a person looks tall, slim, and youthful.
8. DOMINANCE
COMPARE any two elements in a design. Either the elements will be equal in
every way or one will exert some level of dominance over the other. The
more dominant element will attract the eye and get noticed first. It might
even appear to exhibit some sort of control over the less dominant element.
9. EMPHASIS
Emphasis creates a focal point in a design it is how we bring attention to what is most
important . Emphasis is what catches the eye and makes the viewer stop and look at the
image. Without emphasis, with getting the viewer to look at the image, communication
cannot occur.
10. UNITY
The principal of unity is perhaps the most important of the design principal, yet it is
often the most difficult to understand. Unity is the fundamental principal of design
and it is supported by all other principal. If a design is not unified it cannot be
considered successful. Every principal or element work together.
11. GRADATION
A gradual change from dark to light values or form large to small shapes would be called
gradation. Its is a visual technique of gradually transitioning from one colour hue to
another or from one shade to another, or one texture to another. It is like repetition.
12. REPETITON
Repetition is the use of similar or connected pictorial element repetition can be regular
or irregular and even or uneven. Repetition may be in the form of gradation where the
repeated elements slowly become smaller or larger.
13. CONTRAST
The arrangement of opposite elements light and dark, rough and smooth in a
composition so as to create visual interest, contrast can be used in small amount on the
dress instead of more.
