This diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Love may be understood as a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.

The document provides an overview of the packaging design process. It discusses the key steps including research, design, and review. The research phase involves understanding the product, target audience, target market, and competitors. The design process consists of collecting basic information, choosing materials, collaborating with printers, rough sketching, designing architecture, and internal evaluation. The review involves external evaluation through mockups, collecting feedback, and creating a packaging design checklist.
Design thinking relies on three modes of thinking: Open, Explore, and Close. Open involves divergent thinking to generate creative options. Explore focuses on organizing ideas and finding patterns. Close involves convergent thinking to analyze ideas and select the best option. These modes are building blocks that can be applied at both the macro and micro levels of design thinking processes and activities. It is important to use the modes sequentially rather than simultaneously for effective thinking.

This document discusses the use of 3D shapes in garments. 3D shapes are used to enhance certain body parts, meet the requirements of certain styles like minimizer bras, and make the wearer look bold and beautiful. Garments with 3D shapes maintain their 3D form even when laid flat on the floor. Examples where 3D shaping is used include jackets, bras, and costumes for characters that require enhanced body shapes like Ant Man and Black Panther. The document outlines several techniques for achieving 3D shaping, such as contouring patterns, 3D printing, adding foam, and using materials like scuba fabric.
Factors influencing the selection of clothingsuniltalekar1
The document discusses several key factors that influence the selection of clothes in fashion, including personality, age, size, climate, occupation, figure, occasion, fashion trends, and quality of drape and workmanship. For each factor, considerations are provided around appropriate styles, materials, fits, and details for different contexts. Personality influences whether introverts or extroverts prefer certain colors or styles. Age considerations range from infant to elderly clothing needs. Size refers to standardized clothing measurements. Climate and occupation provide guidance on functionality. Figure recommendations help accentuate or minimize certain body shapes. Occasion and current fashion trends also impact selection. Quality construction ensures proper design, cutting, seams, hemming, fasteners, trimming and
This document discusses different theories of how fashion trends emerge and spread through a population. It describes the fashion systems model, where trends originate from fashion designers and radiate outward to consumers. An alternative is the populist model, where subcultures create their own styles. Trend diffusion is also discussed, including the trickle-down theory where elites adopt trends that spread down the social hierarchy, and the trickle-across and trickle-up theories where trends spread horizontally between peer groups or originate from lower classes respectively. Product innovation, the fashion life cycle, and individuals' adoption of trends are also covered.
Fashion movement describes the ongoing change in what is considered fashionable as styles move from acceptance to obsolescence. There are different theories that describe how fashion trends develop and spread among groups in society from fashion leaders down to late adopters. Key aspects of fashion movement include the stages of the fashion cycle from introduction to obsolescence, as well as factors that can speed up or slow down how quickly new styles are adopted. Understanding fashion movement is important for predicting trends and planning merchandise assortments.
The document provides information about 4-H, including their motto "Learn to do by doing", pledge, and grace. It also outlines the contents of a fashion and style reference guide, which includes sections on fashion and style, the design process, textiles, clothing creation, fashion marketing, and careers in fashion. The guide was developed through Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program funds and may not be reproduced without permission from the Saskatchewan 4-H Council.
Athleisure refers to athletic apparel that can be worn in non-athletic settings. It combines fashion and sportswear, utilizing technical fabrics that wick sweat and resist odors. Popular athleisure categories include leggings, sports bras, gym shoes, shorts, tanks, and jackets made from moisture-wicking materials. Though the term was not in the dictionary until 2016, athleisure has roots from the 1970s and grew widespread in 2016 when influencers like Beyoncé and Rihanna brought it into the mainstream. It represents a blending of sportswear and everyday fashion through the use of technical fabrics.
This document discusses two types of traditional Indian sarees: Dhaki saree and Kasavu saree. Dhaki saree originates from West Bengal and is made from plain white cotton or silk fabric. Kasavu saree comes from the state of Kerala and features intricate gold zari embroidery on a white cotton base.
The document discusses theories of fashion movement and the roles of fashion leaders and followers. There are three main theories: 1) Trickle-down theory proposes that new fashions originate from high socioeconomic groups and trickle down to lower groups. 2) Trickle-up theory suggests trends start with youth and trickle up to older, wealthier individuals. 3) Trickle-across theory posits that styles move horizontally between peers within the same social class. Fashion leaders are early adopters who influence trends, while followers adopt styles once they become mainstream.

Imagineyourbreastsoverlookinganelegantbalcony—that’sthegistofabalconettebra.
It has short cups, a horizontal top, and straps that sit wider apart than most other bras
The balconette leaves the tops of your breasts uncovered to hide the bra beneath low
necklines.

support you’d get from fuller cups.

A bandeau is essentially a teeny tube top. It goes over your head without straps, cups, or
hooks to fasten it, giving you a comfy and casual feel.
Like a tube top, a bandeau fully covers your breasts, with the fabric usually ending just
below your shoulders.
This bra offers very little support — just enough to keep your breasts in place if it’s tight
enough.
Smaller, rounder breasts, unless you just want something comfortable and low-support to
wear around the house.

7. BUILT-IN
A built-in bra is exactly what it sounds like: breast support built into a piece of clothing.
You’ll usually find this in a camisole tank top.
You can expect the same amount of coverage as a tank top, which usually means your
breasts are fully covered.
Built-in bras aren’t great for support. You’ll get slightly more support than you would going
braless.
Smaller breast sizes and more slender breast shapes. Bigger, more wide-set breasts may
spill out of a built-in bra.

Demi bras are low-cut, with cups going up about halfway over your bust. You could pair it
with a V-neck top without worrying about showing your bra cup.
A demi bra will cover only the underside and bottom half of your breasts.
Demi bras can give good support, as long as you pay attention to the sizing, wiring, and
straps that you need.
Breasts that are small and firm, so you don’t have to worry about them spilling over the low
sides of this bra. A demi bra can also perk up long, sagging breasts that would otherwise

14. FULL-COVERAGE
Full-coverage bras are named for what they do: provide full coverage. The cup fabric goes
around your full breast.
You’re fully covered with this choice — that’s the whole point!
With full coverage, you also get full support, as this bra usually has a strong underwire
and stretchy material for maximum support.
For big, full breasts, a full-coverage bra can be a great everyday choice. It can also help
even out breasts that are asymmetrical or far apart.

16. HIGH-NECKA high-neck has fabric that covers the whole chest, from strap to strap and up to the
typical T-shirt neckline. It comes in a number of different styles, including bralettes and
sports bras
You get lots of coverage with high-neck bras — so much so that some people wear them
alone as outerwear.
By hugging your breasts with all that coverage, high-neck bras can give you a high level of
support.
High-neck bras don’t usually have molded cups. You may be most comfortable in a
high-neck bra if you aren’t self-conscious about the evenness or symmetry of your
breasts.

18. LOW-BACK
A low-back bra has a U-shape scoop that brings the band low around your back, ideal for
clothes with a low or sheer back design.
Low-back bras come in a variety of styles, but they’re usually pretty low-coverage, as the
cups are designed to hide beneath low necklines.
Many different styles, from push-up to strapless, have low-back options, so the support
you get depends on the style you choose.
Many low-back bras work best for small breasts on a petite frame, as bigger, more
wide-set breasts might not get enough support.

so you can get some strap support while you’re wearing a halter.
Coverage can vary, but the design of halter bras can lead to showing some cleavage.

A longline bra covers about same area that a crop top would, with cups up top and fabric
extending as far as past the belly button below. It can give your body a smooth look under
corsets, vintage wear, and formal gowns.
A longline bra will give you upper body coverage even beyond your bust. The top can have
varying amounts of coverage, depending on the cut and desired look.
Longline bras are super supportive, drawing extra support from the fabric on the rest of
your torso.
This bra can work for a range of sizes, but it’s especially great for supporting large, full
breasts.

You may have seen someone rocking a bralette on Instagram, because these bras are
stylish and can even be worn as outerwear. They usually don’t have underwires, padding,
or cups, and often come in pretty, lacy material.
You can expect full coverage from most bralettes.

without.

26. CAGE
Despite its name, wearing a cage bra doesn’t mean you’re locking up your bust. The cage
bra gets its name from multiple straps that spread above or below the cups for an elegant
look.
Cage bras vary in coverage, but usually they favor showing off your curves and sexy cleav-
age rather than full coverage.
With several straps working together, a cage bra can give you lots of support.
There’s a good chance that you can find a well-fitting cage bra regardless of your shape or
size. If you’re going for a goth or bondage look, the cage bra can be a good choice.

Does a bra without cups miss the whole point of being a bra? Not at all — catch a glimpse
of yourself in a cupless bra and you’ll see why it’s worth it. This lingerie style has a frame,
but little-to-no material over the cups and nipple area.
You get very little coverage with a cupless bra, but in exchange, you get to offer a peek at
your chest.

easier to take off and put on than a bra that hooks in the back.
You can find front-open bras in just about every style, and coverage depends on whether
it’s more like sports bra or a push-up bra.
This also depends on the style, but some people find bras that fasten in the back to be
more supportive.

minimizer can help. It can shape your bust to appear smaller by redistributing your breast

Most nursing bras provide full coverage until you open it up as needed to breastfeed.

showing the front of your bra. It has padding like a push-up bra, and it’s cut very low in the
center.
This bra covers the nipples and bottom of your breast while leaving your cleavage bare.

If you want your bra to help you feel confident and sexy, the push-up might be your go-to.
This bra lifts your breasts up and closer together to accentuate your curves.
The push-up effect leaves the upper, inner area of your breasts bare, which can add cleav-
age to your look with a low-cut top.
Most push-up bras use underwires, and as they lift your breasts, they also support them
well in the process.
A push-up bra can work for all shapes and sizes. It might be especially useful to add
fullness to small breasts and perkiness to low-hanging breasts.

If you wear racerback tank tops or dresses, then you have an idea of how this bra is
designed. The straps crisscross or converge between the shoulder blades.
Most racerback bras give you lots of coverage, and some widen around the collarbone to
cover even more skin.
The racerback design distributes the weight of your breasts across your back, lending
lots of support.
If you’ve got large breasts that need more support, you might just love how you feel in a
racerback bra.

support. But the shelf bra also exists independently, as a quarter-cup bra that lifts your
breasts to sit atop the fabric, like a shelf.
Shelf bras rest below the nipple, leaving most of your breast uncovered.
A shelf bra’s band can provide a little support, but this bra is more about a sexy look than
overall lift.
Small breasts that don’t need much support may do best with a shelf bra, though you can
rock this bra at any size as long as you feel comfortable.

If you’ve ever passed on the chance to wear a backless dress because you didn’t have a
bra to wear with it, then you might want to find a good stick-on bra. It uses adhesive to —
you guessed it — stick to your breasts and provide support without showing bra straps
Stick-on bras tend to cover only the front, lower half of your breast to allow for plunging
necklines and clothing that’s open in the back.
These bras are notoriously bad for providing support, so you might have to look around
before you find one that will hold you up.
Stick-on bras usually work best for smaller breasts and fashion purposes, as heftier
breasts could use more support.

ders. They usually function just like a regular bra, wrapping around your bust but without
the additional support of shoulder straps.
You can find full-coverage strapless bras, but some people feel more exposed when their
shoulders are bare.
Without straps for extra security, going strapless generally feels less supportive.
Anyone can wear a strapless bra if you find the right fit. If you have larger breasts that
need a lot of support, there’s a chance that you simply won’t like the feel of a bra without
straps.

seamless, making this an ideal choice for a smooth look under a T-shirt.
T-shirt bras come in a variety of styles, so coverage depends on the style.
These bras are soft and comfy, so support isn’t their first priority. But with a good under-

A full cup bra covers more than other bra types. The main goal is comfortability! The cups
extend higher up over the bust. They "embrace" the bust more, which keeps the bust in
place, even where you bend forward.
Particularly popular among big busted women. Smaller busts don't have the same need
for such extensive coverage.
Full cup bras are usually perceived as the most comfortable bra type, especially among
women who need a lot of support.

Underwire bras are known for providing optimal support, so it could be your top choice if
support is what you’re looking for.
