The costumes of Goa are influenced by the tropical climate and Portuguese rule. During summers, lightweight cotton clothes are preferred over wool. Historically, the Portuguese compelled locals to abandon traditional Indian dress. However, saris from neighboring regions were smuggled and woven secretly. The nauvari style of draping saris is most common for Koli women. Designs feature influences from Maharashtra and Karnataka. Upper class Catholic women gradually adopted a three-piece western-inspired outfit. While traditional dress has declined, western clothes are now popular and the Goa Carnival celebrates local culture and heritage.

There are several key steps in the development of clothing construction:
1) Humans began wearing animal skins and furs for protection, modesty, and appearance starting 100,000-500,000 years ago. Sewing was initially done by hand.
2) The invention of the sewing machine in the 1800s revolutionized garment production by enabling mass manufacturing. This led to the rise of ready-made clothing industries.
3) Proper fitting involves five factors - ease, line, grain, set, and balance. A well-fitted garment is comfortable and looks balanced from all angles.

The UK has a mixed economy with both public and private sectors. Primary production involves acquiring raw materials through activities like mining, drilling, and tapping. Secondary production manufactures and assembles raw materials into components and products. Tertiary production supports production and distribution through services like transportation, retail, and insurance. These stages form the chain of production that provides consumers with finished goods.
