Usha can use the principles of design in the following manner for designing a sari and blouse for a working woman.

  • Balance Formal balance can be achieved when structures and use of accessories are identical on both sides of the dress. This can be achieved in the blouse, as shown in the illustration below

  • Proportion This is the relationship of parts of a dress to one another and to the whole dress. This is based on the proportion of the golden mean which is represented by ratios like 3:5:8, 5: 8:13 and so on. In this case the ratio of the length of the blouse to that of the saree may be 3:5.
  • Rhythm This can be achieved by repetition, gradation, radiation, parallelism or alternation. For instance, alternating red and green pleats in the saree will make the eyes travel smoothly from one part of the sari to another. 
  • Emphasis The centre of attraction in a dress is called the point of emphasis. In this case, it can be the neck of the blouse, where a continuing change in intensity from bright to dull, or from light to dark, can be made, as shown in the illustration below.

  • Harmony This is possible when all elements of the design – lines, colours, form or shape and texture are related, consistent and in a sequence or order. For instance, both the sari and blouse can be made of silk.
