  • I Was Tempted by a Pretty Coloured Muslin
    “I was tempted by a pretty y y coloured muslin”: Jane Austen and the Art of Being Fashionable MARY HAFNER-LANEY Mary Hafner-Laney is an historic costumer. Using her thirty-plus years of trial-and-error experience, she has given presentations and workshops on how women of the past dressed to historical societies, literary groups, and costuming and re-enactment organizations. She is retired from the State of Washington . E E plucked that first leaf o ff the fig tree in the Garden of Eden and decided green was her color, women of all times and all places have been interested in fashion and in being fashionable. Jane Austen herself wrote , “I beleive Finery must have it” (23 September 1813) , and in Northanger Abbey we read that Mrs. Allen cannot begin to enjoy the delights of Bath until she “was provided with a dress of the newest fashion” (20). Whether a woman was like Jane and “so tired & ashamed of half my present stock that I even blush at the sight of the wardrobe which contains them ” (25 December 1798) or like the two Miss Beauforts in Sanditon , who required “six new Dresses each for a three days visit” (Minor Works 421), dress was a problem to be solved. There were no big-name designers with models to show o ff their creations. There was no Project Runway . There were no department stores or clothing empori - ums where one could browse for and purchase garments of the latest fashion. How did a woman achieve a stylish appearance? Just as we have Vogue , Elle and In Style magazines to keep us up to date on the most current styles, women of the Regency era had The Ladies Magazine , La Belle Assemblée , Le Beau Monde , The Gallery of Fashion , and a host of other publications (Decker) .

Half-scale: pattern drafting, muslin mock-ups, and garments have been utilized throughout the history of apparel design for various reasons. From transportable replicas to cost effective sample analysis to patternmaking practice, the half-scale application can be practical, efficient, and valued. New possibilities of how traditional half-scale use can be reinterpreted to suit the needs of the digital user are of interest, especially to those involved in online design studios.

  • Taking Advantage of the Design Potential of Digital Printing Technology for Apparel
    Volume 4, Issue 3, Spring2005 TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DESIGN POTENTIAL OF DIGITAL PRINTING TECHNOLOGY FOR APPAREL J.R. Campbell, Associate Professor, Iowa State University 1073 Lebaron Hall Ames, IA 50011 515-294-0945 Jean Parsons, Assistant Professor, Iowa State University 1071a Lebaron Hall Ames, IA 50011 515-294-4022 ABSTRACT The integration of digital technologies into apparel forms allows designers to explore and visualize new creative possibilities. How the technology is used and how design concepts are perceived in the industry are areas of crucial importance to the technology’s longevity. Our goal, as collaborative artists, focuses on integrating technology into the creative process to create both art and industry-oriented apparel. The applications of digital textile and apparel design have implications for many areas of the industry, but we have focused on three: art-to -wear, custom design, and mass customizable products. The body of research and artwork that we have developed suggests that a systematic approach to integrating new technologies into the textile and apparel design process can be developed, recorded and employed in future design explorations to inspire the most rapid technology integration with the greatest potential for new product conceptualization. Keywords: Digital textile printing, apparel design, design process, art-to -wear The integration of digital technologies into creative process to create both art and industry- apparel forms allows designers to explore and oriented apparel. visualize new creative possibilities. How the technology is used and how design concepts are When we began our collaborative process, the perceived in the industry are areas of crucial use of digital printing for apparel was at a importance to the technology’s longevity.

Different parameters of mercerization treatment such as conc. of sodium hydroxide palates and time duration of the treatment were optimized. Two methods of the treatment were given (slack mercerization and mercerization under tension) at 40 °C with different concentrations (5%, 15% and 25%) for different time periods (10min, 20min and 30min). The treated cotton khadi fabric was evaluated in terms of tensile strength and drapability of cotton khadi fabric. Mercerization under tension gave the best results with 25% concentration of NaOH for 30min at 40 °C followed by the fabric, with different time (10min and 20min) duration of the treatment. The results showed that as the time and concentrations were increased, the tensile strength was also increased of mercerization under tension as compare to the controlled and slack mercerization samples. Some properties were decreased after mercerization treatment for example %drape co-efficient was decreased and drape area also decreased means andanother mode of subjective expression of drapability i.e. higher the no.
