Line

Line is the most essential element of design because it divides areas into shapes &spaces


Horizontal/Straight Lines -Lines that going across the garment that make the eyes move from side to side giving the illusion of width. Horizontal lines create a feeling of stability & restfulness. 







Vertical/Straight Lines-Lines going up & down giving the illusion of more height and less width. Vertical lines can create a taller & thinner look. Vertical lines give a feeling of strength, dignity, and formality.

 





Curved & Zig-Zag Lines- Lines that are not straight, adding curve and interest to a garment. The illusion of the body created depends on the thickness & direction of the line(s).

Curved Line


Multiple curved lines add width & length to garment as well as movement with vertical & horizontal lines .

Single curved line adds length & interest to the dress



Zig-Zag Line

Diagonal Zig-Zag Lines grabs the eye & calls for attention
