Ltd. SALWAR KAMEEZ DESIGNING FOR COLLEGE GOING GIRLS S. LAKSHMI MANOKARI1 & E. KIRTHIGA2 1Head, Department of Costume Design and Fashion, Kongu Arts and Science College, Erode, Tamil Nadu, India 2Postgraduate Student, Department of Costume Design and Fashion, Kongu Arts and Science College, Erode, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT Kameez and Salwar are becoming popular dress all around India being of comfort and look. They are available in readymade as well as custom-made. Most of the people prefer custom-made Salwar Kameez than readymade since it reflects the unique sense of style, choice of fabrics and colors. Hence, the main aim of this study is to design a basic pattern, layout, cutting and stitching details for the Salwar Kameez using pattern making software. A survey was carried out before developing the pattern. It was found through a survey that 80% of respondents are willing to make their own Salwar Kameez because of the reasons like cost saving, perfect fit, and desired designs and lack of quick delivery of the garment by the dressmakers. The developed instruction was used to construct the Salwar kameez for different chest sizes and the fit of the garment was evaluated through wear study. A Fit evaluation scale was prepared. It was found that there was 100% satisfaction in salwar and Kameez fit. The present research work will be beneficial to customize their personal Salwar Kameez. KEYWORDS: Salwar Kameez, Neckline Designs, Styles of Salwar Kameez, Pattern Making and Fitting INTRODUCTION The salwar kameez has emerged as the most popular Indian garment today. Besides comfort, it offers better leg movement than a sari, it is easy to wash and wear and covers the whole body (Mehra 2002). Salwars are pyjama-like trousers drawn tightly in at the waist and the ankles. Over the salwars, women wear a long and loose tunic known as a kameez (Chander 2003). Salwar kameez are available in Readymade as well as custom-made. The main difference between a readymade and the custom-made salwar kameez is in the finishing touches. Colourful piping, fancy trims, decorative necklines, sparkly tassels or additional borders are enhanced in custom-made. Majority of Indian ladies get salwar kameez outfits custom-made. Though there are ready made salwar kameez available, they may not meet all the expectations of correct fit, specific neckline designs and specific embellishments. So, Indian ladies shop for the fabrics and colors of their choice, and get their dress custom-made. As majority of ladies prefer to customize their own salwar kameez they must have pattern making knowledge. Pattern making is the art of constructing a pattern to make a perfect fitting garment. It is started as far back as fifteen century which is one of the first steps taken to manufacture well-tailored clothing. It requires a lot of technical skills, knowledge and practice. Patternmaking in today’s computerized age is done by computers for the fast pace fashion industry. It is based on using measurements relating to the contour of the body (Khurana 2012). Body measurements are a www.tjprc.org [email protected] 12 S. Lakshmi Manokari & E. Kirthiga prerequisite to pattern construction. The size and fit of a garment depends upon their accuracy. Body measurements are required not only for stitching the garment at home or getting it stitched, but also for buying readymade garments (Beazley and Bond 2004).In the present study, the investigators analyzed the respondent’s opinion regarding the salwar kameez preferences, fitting problems and preferences in various styles of salwar kameez. In addition, we also analyzed the willingness to design their own salwar kameez. Based on the need of the college going girls, the investigators developed the basic pattern for salwar and kameez with various neckline designs. METHODS The Sample The respondents were undergraduate and postgraduate students of various arts and Science College in Erode and have personal purchasing experience in salwar kameez and they wear this garment as college wear. Pilot Study After constructing the questionnaire, a pilot study was done with 10 senior academicians with expertise in the subject matter and 20 participants were involved before commencing the actual survey. Minor revisions of the questionnaire were done after the pilot study. Collection of Primary Data The primary data was collected through a questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to 200 college girls using Non-probability convenience sampling during November - December 2013. The questionnaire consists of demographic profile, preference for readymade/ custom-made, satisfaction of fit and fitting problems, willingness to design their own salwar kameez and choices of salwar kameez styles. To have clear understanding and easy recognition of different styles of Salwar and kameez by the respondents Figure 1 and 2 were included in the questionnaire. The collected data were consolidated and analyzed systematically using SPSS 16 software Figure 1: Different Styles of Salwar: (A) Plain Salwar (B) Patiala (C) Churidhar (D) Dhoti (E) Harem (F) Parallel Impact Factor (JCC): 2.9594 Index Copernicus Value (ICV): 3.0 Salwar Kameez Designing for College Going Girls 13 Figure 2: Different Styles of Kameez: (A) Plain Kameez (B) Anarkali (C) Asymmetric (D) Angarakha (E) Princess Line (F) Achkan Collection of Secondary Data The secondary data were obtained from books and web sources.

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of this historic occasion, on 2 February 2009, the devotees of Atladara re-enacted it in the pres- ence of Pramukh Swami Maharaj. Weighing scales were set up under the same neem tree (above) where the original celebration took place. On one side a murti of Shastriji Maharaj was placed and on the other side sugar crystals. Devotees dressed in the traditions of that period joyfully hailed the glory of Shastriji Maharaj. Swamishri also participated in the celebration by placing sugar crystals on the scales. Then, on Sunday, 8 February 2009, the occasion was celebrated on the main assembly stage, and again Swamishri, the sadhus and devotees honoured Shastriji Maharaj (inset).

We even have diversity in religion maximum people following Hinduism and the rest being Islam, Christianity and Sikhism; leave aside the other tribes which have their own traditional attire.
