  • HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT of FASHION Phyllis G
    HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF FASHION Phyllis G. Tortora DOI: 10.2752/BEWDF/EDch10020a Abstract Although the nouns dress and fashion are often used interchangeably, scholars usually define them much more precisely. Based on the definition developed by researchers Joanne Eicher and Mary Ellen Roach Higgins, dress should encompass anything individuals do to modify, add to, enclose, or supplement the body. In some respects dress refers to material things or ways of treating material things, whereas fashion is a social phenomenon. This study, until the late twentieth century, has been undertaken in countries identified as “the West.” As early as the sixteenth century, publishers printed books depicting dress in different parts of the world. Books on historic European and folk dress appeared in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By the twentieth century the disciplines of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and some branches of art history began examining dress from their perspectives. The earliest writings about fashion consumption propose the “ trickle-down” theory, taken to explain why fashions change and how markets are created. Fashions, in this view, begin with an elite class adopting styles that are emulated by the less affluent. Western styles from the early Middle Ages seem to support this. Exceptions include Marie Antoinette’s romanticized shepherdess costumes. But any review of popular late-twentieth-century styles also find examples of the “bubbling up” process, such as inner-city African American youth styles. Today, despite the globalization of fashion, Western and non-Western fashion designers incorporate elements of the dress of other cultures into their work. An essential first step in undertaking to trace the history and development of fashion is the clarification and differentiation of terms.

  • Modern Pattern Design by Harriet Pepin
    1942—Modern Pattern Design by Harriet Pepin Chapter 1—Pattern Designing Description of Equipment As the doctor, sculptor or artist should understand the purpose of various tools and equipment common to his profession, it is equally important that the patternmaker understands the purpose for which his equipment has been designed. Most of the following articles may be purchased at art supply houses, tailor's supply firms or at the notion departments in retail stores: 1. Triangle: The transparent right triangle is useful in pattern making to "square" a corner. The two smaller points will serve to establish a true bias from a vertical or horizontal line. Diagrams in problems which follow illustrate how this is done. In the study of geometry we learn that a triangle must total 180 degrees. This right triangle has two 45 degree angles and one 90 degree angle. 2. Tracing Wheel: This clever instrument saves hours of needless labor of thread marking. It is used to transfer lines or symbols from one pattern to another or from the final pattern to the muslin or fabric. When the test muslins are being made by the designer, ordinary pencil carbon may be used. When actual garments are being cut, white carbon or chalk boards are used. These markings can be easily removed later. 3. Carbon Boards: A suitable carbon board can be made by purchasing a 24 × 36 sheet of pencil carbon from an art supply house. This should be laid, face upward, upon a similar size piece of heavy cardboard or ply board. Then a length of cheese cloth is laid over and securely fastened to the back of the board with gum tape or thumb tacks.

  • Lesson Guide Bustier Dress Draping: Intermediate Module 1 – Prepare the Dress Form
    Lesson Guide Bustier Dress Draping: Intermediate Module 1 – Prepare the Dress Form Step 1A The first step when draping the bustier is to apply style tape to your dress form to establish your guidelines and neckline styleline. Start by taping across the bust level from the left apex across to the right apex. 1 Module 1 – Prepare the Dress Form Step 1B Tape the desired neckline from center front to center back. At the side seam don’t drop lower than 1” from the armplate. 2 Module 1 – Prepare the Dress Form Step 1C For beginners, it is a good idea to apply your bust level tape from center front to the side seam. This will make it easier when balancing the side front panel. Be sure the tape is level to the floor. 3 Module 1 – Prepare the Dress Form Step 1D We will be using the princess lines of the dress form both front and back as the prin- cess stylelines for this bustier. 4 Module 1 – Prepare the Dress Form Step 2A For the skirt, measure down 7” from the bottom of the waist tape. Apply the hip style tape horizontally around the right half of the dress form. You must be sure that the hipline is parallel to the floor. 5 Module 1 – Prepare the Dress Form Step 2B You can check this by resting an L Square on the table and find the number on the ruler that corresponds to center front at the bottom of the hip tape. Your style tape should align at that number as you turn the dress form from front to back.

The project is sponsored by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and has been named the Apparel Product Data Exchange Standard (APDES) project. The APDES project utilizes the techniques being used by and developed for the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP). STEP is an emerging international standard for representing the physical and functional characteristics of a product throughout the product’s life cycle. Formal standards for STEP are being published under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the document series 10303-X. Many of the information requirements, as well as the software tools being developed to support STEP, are applicable for any manufacturing industry.
