3. Body Basics
Before we discuss the 4 basic body shapes a designer should understand frame.
Frame= may be determined by a person’s height in conjunction with the measurement of their wrist.
There are 3 sizes
Small
Medium
Large
Frame plays an integral role in how a garment looks on a person.
Intro: Have you ever heard the phrase, “ I have big bones.”? Today we are going to learn the truth behind this statement
Class Questions: Do you know your frame size? Do you think we can alter our sizes?
Hint: To enhance the impact of your presentation use a search engine to research celebrities and influential people with the same height but different frames then copy and paste their images on a document that you could easily pull up to show images for your visual learners.
Determining frame size: To determine the body frame size, measure the wrist with a tape measure and use the following chart to determine whether the person is small, medium, or large boned.
Women:
Height under 5'2"
Small = wrist size less than 5.5"
Medium = wrist size 5.5" to 5.75"
Large = wrist size over 5.75"
Height 5'2" to 5' 5"
Small = wrist size less than 6"
Medium = wrist size 6" to 6.25"
Large = wrist size over 6.25"
Height over 5' 5"
Small = wrist size less than 6.25"
Medium = wrist size 6.25" to 6.5"
Large = wrist size over 6.5"
Men:
Small = wrist size 5.5" to 6.5"
Medium = wrist size 6.5" to 7.5"
Large = wrist size over 7.5"
Information on Frame measurements is taken from the National Library of Medicine. You may find more information at

4 Basic Body Shapes
Triangle

Hourglass
Ruler
What fabulous form do you have?
Intro: All body shapes have the opportunity to be fabulous it is just a matter of learning yours and how to accentuate what you are naturally given.
Class Questions?
Hint: As you proceed through the different body types again I would enhance my presentation by previously researching current celebrities or influential people with similar body types then copy and paste their images on a document that you could easily pull up to show images for your visual learners. By doing so your students will become more interactive and it will aide their ability to recall in the future.

6. Hourglass
Chest and hips are almost equal measurements and waist is smallest measurement
As you age this shape expands and morphs into the Apple
Rectangle
Chest, waist and hips are about the same width
Seen most often in runners.
AKA: Ruler or boyish figure
If you have time this is a fun time for students to interact with each other by pairing up and taking their own measurements and learning their body type.
HINT: Be sure to have healthy images or examples for ALL body types so they can learn that each body type is beautiful not just one.

7. Understanding Lines & Illusion
Fashion Illustration and Design plays upon optical illusions to the advantage of a person or garment by creating a desired appearance.
Vertical: leads the eye up and down creating the illusion of height.
Horizontal: leads the eye side to side creating the illusion of width
Ask students to look around the room and notice the lines they see in other students’ clothing. After talking about vertical lines point the grain line in students’ jeans and ask why their jeans use vertical lines?
Discuss how knowing your lines can transform the way you look to others
Hint: There are many sites with great examples on how lines can deceive the eye
Diagonal: creates movement and interest
in clothing .

8. Elements of Design Shape or Silhouette: The outline of a figure
Space: The area inside the shape
Texture: Creates different impressions such as taller, shorter, larger or smaller.
Patterns: Come in a variety of sizes and shapes and create illusions to the perception of the figure
Intro: Here are more elements of design to consider when sketching. What silhouette or body type will you use, in the space provided how will you divide it up and with what texture, flowing, firm, will you use a pattern such as a Hounds tooth or Chevron?
Activity: Have students play with the 4 body types to create different silhouettes experimenting in the space each silhouette provides using patterns and texture. Remember this is the first level of Fashion Design and first day of sketching so it may be a little rough. Let them use a croqui as a template. You may find a plethora both female and male croquis by simply using a search engine and typing in “Free Croquis” in the search bar. .

Harmony: Occurs when design elements complement each other.
