  • Chapter 3 Methodology…
    Chapter 3 Methodology… Methodology….. CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY The research being descriptive and analytical in nature, a longitudinal research design was planned to accomplish the framed objectives. The study had been divided into three different phases. The detailed historical research was conducted during the first phase while the second phase included the collection and documentation of the data. Earnest efforts for the preservation and popularization of the traditional royal costumes were made during the third phase of research. The organized research procedure that would be accomplishing the present study is mentioned as follows: 3.1 Selection of topic The present research had started with an inspiring thought of investigator’s master’s dissertation work and experiences. The researcher had seen various researches and documentation of Indian royal costumes especially of princely states of Rajasthan and Gujarat and found that the dearth of information was available on the royal costumes of Kachchh which led researcher towards its investigation. The present research had taken its shape as a researcher came across royal heritage of Kachchh for taking it into the limelight and preserving it in a decent manner for future generation. Moreover, the statement of the problem identified as Documentation of traditional costumes of rulers of Kachchh. The rulers of Kachchh were not as popular as other princely state rulers. The word “royal costume” provides an impression of luxurious fabrics, embellishments, and royalty. There could be the difference in these elements in royal costumes of Kachchh compared to other ruler’s costume. Kachchh’s geographical location has Rajasthan one end and Sindh Pakistan at the other end as neighboring states which could have influenced the costumes.

As the words accumulated I found it helpful to sort them into rough semantic categories: kinship terms here, body parts there, trees in some other place. Gradually, I became fascinated by, even addicted to, the search for words, and as my lists grew, I kept looking for ways to sort them. I even hoped that a plausible sorting might reveal something about the workings of the language, and not merely reect my own preconceptions of how words ought to be organized. My methodology was simplicity itself. When a category grew big enough to become cumbersome, I looked for a way to divide it into smaller but still coherent categories. This worked well enough for some areas. Kin- ship terms fell naturally into those for men and for women, and for older and younger generations. Mandi names for animals could be sorted, as easily as English words, among birds, ¯sh, land animals and bugs. Vast areas of the vocabulary fell into no such clear categories, however, and there were many hundreds of words that would ¯t easily in three or four di®erent places.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract One of the cornerstones of the Cambodian literary canon is the verse novel Turn Teav. There are numerous versions o f the story that cover all the major modes of creative expression in Cambodian culture. In addition to the literary and theatrical versions, the story also appears in different historical texts, as it is generally believed that the characters described in the story are based on actual people and events in Cambodian history. Despite Turn Teav's tremendous importance and popularity however, there are no studies that examine the extensive literary criticism on the text or the influence of the story in contemporary Cambodian culture and society. This work is an attempt to present an overview o f the literary criticism on Turn Teav and provide the reader with an insight into the viewpoints of contemporary Cambodian writers and intellectuals on the major themes in the story.

The concept of minimal waste design can be traced through historical dresses and is increasingly popular in modern clothing design. Designers such as Holly McQuillan embrace the zero-waste principles using unconventional patternmaking methods, which reincorporate all cut-out pattern pieces into the garment design and result in reduced pattern cutting sections and fabric in draped garments (Brown, 2010). Other designers, such as Mark Liu, utilize the intricate hand-cut edge of pattern pieces as design features on the outside of the garment to develop feather-like layered textural effect for fitted woven garments (Brown, 2010).

  • The Development and Evaluation of the Tennis Shirt Pattern for a Wheelchair Tennis Player in a CAD Program
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF HeeJae Jin for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Design and Human Environment presented on June 8, 2016 Title: The Development and Evaluation of the Tennis Shirt Pattern for a Wheelchair Tennis Player in a CAD Program Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Leslie Davis Burns Kathy K. Mullet This study was to develop and evaluate a shirt pattern for a wheelchair tennis player to improve comfort using reducing garment strain using a CAD program. For that, seven body movements related to garment strain during play were analyzed. In order to develop a pattern, a morphological matrix was used to generate a pattern design concept. In the morphological matrix, the tennis shirt patterns were deconstructed and each was named as function and each function had potential pattern making solutions, including the surface zone methods, structural lines development, and wearing eases development. The surface zones in the present study were calculated to explain the bodice subdivided zones to develop 2D patterns that apply to each surface of the 3D avatars. The structural lines utilized to adjust a tennis shirt block pattern in this study. Also, the wearing eases development was managed at the grade points of the pattern to provide ease by using the change of length. Based on the possible solutions, patterns were adjusted to meet the garment comfort aspect for each function of pattern on the 3D avatars. In this study, 3D body scanner was used to create 3D avatars with postures based on the determined body movements. The drafted pattern was used to drape the virtual garments on the each movement of 3D avatars in the CAD program, and then the stain areas of the pattern design were identified using the tension map.

  • Prehistoric Costume in Denmark 313
    CHAPTER X. PREHISTORIC COSTUME IN DENMARK 313 CHAPTER X PREHISTORIC COSTUME IN DENMARK Unlike the early Bronze Age oak coffin burials which yielded several complete costumes due to preserving properties in the oak and soil, none of the fragments excavated from Iron Age graves are identifiable as garments. Our primary source ofIron Age material, therefore, is bog finds although we dare not assume that they are complete costumes. Indeed, they are more likely to be isolated garments because such special conditions have evidently prevailed. A number of items have been alone, and even when a garment is recovered together with a body it is not always clear whether it represents man's or woman's clothing. CAPES Capes, long and short. One item of clothing is very predominant among bog finds, namely a short skin cape I), which seems to occur equally frequently together with bodies of either sex, and curiously enough several capes can be found with the same body. In Bauns~ Mose, for example, the body of a young man was recovered together with three capes, and in Karlby Mose four were found with one skeleton. Although accounts of the circumstances in which the body was found often lack important details, it is clear from several of them that the body in question was not clad in a cape but that the cape was wrapped round it, presumably to cover it. In 1942 a body was found in Daugbjerg Mose with pieces of skin cape, the collar with laces was at the feet of the corpse. In 1922 in Kayhausen2), Germany, a body was recovered from a bog with feet tied together by the laces of the collar.

  • Nauvari a Nine Yard Dream: a Study of the Popularity of the Traditional Saree, a Symbol of Cultural Identity of Maharashtra, India
    International Journal of Modern Agriculture, Volume 9, No.3, 2020 ISSN: 2305-7246 Nauvari a Nine Yard Dream: A Study of the Popularity of the Traditional Saree, A Symbol of Cultural Identity of Maharashtra, India Sanjeevani Ayachit Symbiosis Institute of Design, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, India Email: [email protected] Abstract Traditional dress is a distinctive symbol of culture and tradition of any place. The native dress of the western Indian state of Maharashtra, was the nine yard saree or nauvari. With time, the nauvari was simplified to a five yard saree or pachvari which in turn gave way to the more practical salvar-kameez or shirts, trousers and skirts. With time, wearing of nauvari and pachvari sarees by urban women decreased significantly and was all but abandoned by 1980s. However today, women are observed wearing both pachvari and nauvari sarees for special occasions and festivals. This study uses an interpretative analytical approach to dissect the experiences of urban Maharashtrian women while wearing their nauvaris and the meanings and purposes they associate with wearing it. The sample was chosen through purposive non- probability sampling and data collected through in depth interviews. The study reveals that increasing numbers of women wear the nauvari saree for festive occasions. They are charmed by its graceful drape, the accompanying ornaments, make-up and hair styles. For an increasing number of women, the nauvari represents oneness with their culture. Its occurrence in popular Bollywood movies like Bajirao Mastani has only helped to increase its popularity. Keywords: culture, saree, ethnic dress, identity, self-image.
