The principles of design are guides that tell how the elements of design should be combined. They are balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony.

Balance- When the spaces on both sides of a central line, real or imagined, appear equal.
Symmetrical balance or formal balance – when the spaces on
each side of a garment look just the same.
Asymmetrical Balance or informal balance – when the design
elements are different on both sizes.

3. Proportion- describes how separate parts of a garment relate
each other and to the whole in size.

4. Emphasis – the focal point of a design, the part that draws
attention.

5. Rhythm - is visual, carrying the eye through a regular
pattern produced by design elements. Rhythm
moves the eye gently from one area of the
garment to another.
