Answer :
Garment design is an integration of all the design elements, including colour, texture, space, lines, pattern silhouette, shape, proportion, balance, emphasis or focal point, rhythm and harmony. Each of these contributes towards the visual perception and psychological comfort of the garment. Principles of illusion can be utilised in garment design to flatter the figure of the wearer (Davis, 1996). For example, the Muller–Lyer illusion (a line with angled extensions at each end appears longer than a line of equal length, but with doubled back angled lines at each end) may be applied to pattern design to lengthen or shorten the perceived figure of the wearer. The lengthening effect may also be created by applying the horizontal–vertical illusion, i.e. a vertical line seems longer than a horizontal one of the same length.
