  • 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.

  • Hong Kong Finish with Blind Hem Stitch By: Burdastyle
    Hong Kong Finish with Blind Hem Stitch By: BurdaStyle http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/hong-kong-finish-with-blind-hem-stitch This finish uses the same technique as the Hong Kong binding seam finish, but applied to a hem and utilizing a blind handstitch. Enclosing the raw edge inside a strip of bias, this technique is labor intensive and luxurious, and is used in better-quality garments. This method is especially suitable for heavy fabrics and for summer garments that you wouldnât want to line. Step 1 Mark a 2â hemline, turn up, and press. 1HongStep 2 To make the bias strips, fold your fabric so the selvages lie at a right angle; the fold will be at exactly 45 degrees. Check out our Sewpedia definition for help, Bias/diagonal cut (cutting on the cross) and also, Make French Bias Binding. Use a lightweight material that matches the garment. Measure 1â wide bias strips along the fold with a ruler and marking tool. (You can also use single or double fold bias tape and press it open). Step 3 Cut out the strips and square the ends to the length of the seam you are finishing. If you need to make your strips longer you will have to attach the strips, by placing one over the other at a right angle, sewing right sides together. 2Step 4 With right sides together, pin the bias to the hem. Step 5 Now, stitch the bias to the hem with a ¼â seam allowance. 3Step 6 This is what it will look like after stitching.
