Elements of Clothing DesignThere are FIVE elements, or properties of clothing design:
1) LINE
Line creates an illusion, which is an image that fools the eye
Vertical Lines (|||||) have a slimming effect because these lines lead the eye up & down. Vertical lines also make you seem taller.
Horizontal Lines ( ) lead the eye from side to side, making the wearer seem shorter and broader

Elements of Clothing Design4) PRINT
Print can be simple stripes or complex arrangements of lines and figures.
Prints include dots, stripes, plaids, or other patterns.
Prints can make you appear bigger or smaller than your actual size. A shirt with a large, bold print will make you look bigger than one with a small, delicate pattern.

Elements of Clothing Design5) TEXTURE
Texture is the way a material looks and feels.
Example: satin, silk, cord, jeans, wool, cotton, nylon, suede, leather
Texture can also make you look slightly heavier or slimmer. A bulkier fabric would make you look heavier than a smoother fabric.
