The proportion and balance of costume design

Equilibrium means that the visual interest and component of the equilibrium center are equal, it is an important part of the principle of clothing beauty, and the effect of clothing design plays a decisive role, a set of visually balanced clothing, can give people the enjoyment of beauty, on the contrary, if not achieve a balance, will make both the wearer and the viewer feel psychological discomfort.

We say that the equilibrium, not on both sides of the exact same, it also divided into two cases: symmetrical balance: Also known as Axis symmetry, the two sides of the shaft shape, fabric, process structure, color and other components of the composition of the same clothing. Symmetrical balance of the design formation of more stable, more suitable for the female rich classical style design. Asymmetric balance: is a more complex form of design, the axis on both sides of the shape, fabric, process structure, color and other clothing elements are not exactly the same, can be an element, can also be more than two elements. In order to keep the axis on both sides of the visual balance, it is bound to design elements of the area size, direction, how many of the adjustments.

From the visual characteristics of people to study the balance of clothing design, we should pay attention to the following two aspects: attention to detail settings if you look from one side to the other, you will find the attractiveness of the left and right sides equal. Attention will swing back and forth like a pendulum, and finally stop at a point in the middle of the poles, and if there is an object at the center of the equilibrium, this will allow the eye to rest satisfactorily and produce a moment of pleasure and calm in the viewer's mind. Clothing style, whether it is tight-fitting, or loose type, all need to have some details of the setting to meet the visual needs of the eye. The details of clothing mainly refers to the process, decoration, body structure and so on. The same style, there are no details set, the effect is very different. Pay attention to the equilibrium of color or material. The visual equilibrium relationship has two concepts that must be understood: measurement and component. Their overall effects affect the design's sense of visual balance.

A measure is a quantity that distinguishes a pure form, and the component is the quantity of a color and a mass element. It is assumed that the two sides of the garment are homogeneous and homogenous, and their measurement relationships are balanced. And once you change some of the quality and color, both visually lose the sense of balance, such as a dress on both sides of the same blue, but one side with the soft linen, while the other side is heavy cotton; or the same material, the color is very deep , while the color is very shallow, both situations will break the balance, this is the role of the component. In the asymmetrical design of garments, we should make full use of the quality and color so that the relationship between the left and right is balanced.

In short, symmetrical design and asymmetric design can create excellent costumes, but must grasp the various elements of the balance and coordination of the relationship.
