Engineered Digital Textile Print Design for Customized Curves Volume 10, Issue 3, 2018 Engineered Digital Textile Print Design for Customized Curves Kisalaya Choudhary Professor, Textile Design, National Institute of Fashion Technology, India ABSTRACT There are various instances when women feel the need to wear clothes for a slimmer appearance than their actual body shape. Looks and body appearance provide self-assurance to people, especially to those who are in a business related to physical appearances. Physical fitness and appearance have taken a parallel path in today’s world. Many designers have experimented with garments providing body shape deceiving and illusionistic effect through meticulous use of solid colors, slimming patterns, and illusion print designs. This research paper explores how smart edits in print design provide aesthetics blended with engineered slim looks, enhancing and customizing curves, per consumer preference, to create body size adjustments visually. The creative edits can be efficiently used for creating one piece/single garments customizing the curves and visual body shapes in synchronization with digital print design to enhance the body in a considerate manner. Keywords: Digital print and pattern, slimmer look, printed garments, customized curves Digital engineered printed textiles and customization opportunities Examples from optical slimming design garment (Figure 1 A, 1B and 1C) are used for Digital technology opens up a door of highlighting the body curves and creating a possibilities and opportunities for designers, slimming illusion. These garments are manufacturers, and business owners in created by effective use of dark and light various fields related to printed garments and color placements making the waist area textiles. Breaking the limitations of repeat appearance slimmer. The techniques of and number of colors per design; engineered pattern cutting and placements of colors are design layouts, offer newer possibilities of used in the garments, and positioning colors shorter minimums and quick turnaround time and patterns in a considerate manner creates (Ujjie, 2006). Engineered print design an illusion (Dean, 2012). A similar concept possibilities and quick turnaround times are may be explored in print design using design crucial to the customized products, making variants other than combinations of solid them effective in terms of designing dark and light colors to create slimming opportunities, quick production and product effects in garments. Digital printing delivery. technology offers a customization opportunity and choices for individual Understanding customized curves preferences.

There has been a remarkable change in the Methodology area of custom clothing after the rise of digital technology. Many initiatives have The concepts used for customized curves and been witnessed throughout the fashion and digital printing technology were studied by garment industry in utilizing various aspects exploring the work of well-known designers of digital technology such as 3D scan for catering to the specific need of consumers different body types. The reverse engineering through customized clothing design, technique is used to create 3D models for journals, and books in the area of customized garment fitting. Virtual mannequins are used clothing and digital printing technological for pattern cutting and visual trial in a virtual advances and possibilities. Design setting to modify the designs as per consumer experiments were carried out in digital form need and desires (Pecoco, Galantucci, & for consumer feedback/response. Three Lavecchia, 2011).

All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. INTRODUCTION The desire of adding color and design to textile materials is almost as old as mankind. Early civilizations used color and design to distinguish themselves and to set themselves apart from others. Textile printing is the most important and versatile of the techniques used to add design, color, and specialty to textile fabrics. It can be thought of as the coloring technique that combines art, engineering, and dyeing technology to produce textile product images that had previously only existed in the imagination of the textile designer. Textile printing can realistically be considered localized dyeing. In ancient times, man sought these designs and images mainly for clothing or apparel, but in today’s marketplace, textile printing is important for upholstery, domestics (sheets, towels, draperies), floor coverings, and numerous other uses. The exact origin of textile printing is difficult to determine. However, a number of early civilizations developed various techniques for imparting color and design to textile garments. Batik is a modern art form for developing unique dyed patterns on textile fabrics very similar to textile printing. Batik is characterized by unique patterns and color combinations as well as the appearance of fracture lines due to the cracking of the wax during the dyeing process. Batik is derived from the Japanese term, “Ambatik,” which means “dabbing,” “writing,” or “drawing.” In Egypt, records from 23-79 AD describe a hot wax technique similar to batik.
