The couturier or dressmaker capable of creating original fashion design is an artist as a sculptor working with the material on hand to create and mold a pleasing effect one which creates an attractive picture by enhancing the best qualities of the wearer and unobtrusively subduing or camouflaging the less perfect points by applying the skill which comes with knowledge and practice. In dress designing it can be achieved by repetition of lines of direction in construction of the dress itself, or by repetition in the use of buttons and miscellaneous ornamentation, or the repetition inherent in tucks, pleats, and folds. Rhythmic movement in fashion design can also be accented by the use of contrasting colors.

Good fashion design should be applied to every dress or costume you create. Well balanced arrangement becomes good design in utility clothes, wash dresses, severely tailored garments, formal wear. Each will be more attractive and flattering to the wearer for the care and creative thought that went it.

Proportion is the relation of one part of a fashion design to another in line, mass, or color. Proportion is also the relation of the entire design to the wearer. Care must be taken in keeping this relation of one part to another interesting not to allow it to become monotonous. A good sense of balance and rhythm and the proper use of them will help your judgment in this respect.
