The paper presents an investigation of connection between the knot diameter and the widths of the draped pieces in the place of twist in design of patterns with twist knot draperies. The investigation has been made only for woven fabrics. The obtained dependence between the knot diameter and the widths of the draped pieces in the place of twist has made the design of patterns with twist knot draperies fully systematized. The systematization gives possibility for easy and correct pattern making of twist knot drape clothes with various sizes of diameter of knot and drapery parts width. The system facilitates the process of fashion design and pattern making and gives possibility of variety of new designs twist knot drape clothes. It is very useful for ready-to-wear industry. 1. Introduction The twist knot drape is one of types of drapery in ladies' clothing and as the name of this drapery indicates it is designed in result of a twist of two pieces into a knot. A study about pattern making of this type of drapery shows that in the constructional systems [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] there isn't any mathematically founded dependence between the diameter of the knot and the widths of the draped pieces in the place of twist. It is logical that the bigger width of draped parts leads to the bigger diameter of the knot. The paper presents an investigation of connection between the knot diameter and the widths of the draped pieces in the place of twist in design of patterns with twist knot draperies, id est searching for a mathematical dependence between them. The investigation has been made only for woven fabrics.

According to the main design principles silhouettes, lines, and forms of elements and pieces can be changed. According to both fashion and technical design the change of the elements with decorative and constructive function is more important than changing only decorative ones. The transformations are possible for all of elements with decorative and constructive function: darts, seams, 3D elements. And according to the fashion and pattern making view the drapery is maybe the most interesting three dimensional element, which can be with only decorative, but in the more of the cases it is with decorative and constructive function. The paper presents fashion and pattern design of ladies' dresses on the base of transformation of the three basic types of drapes: twist knot, twisted and free draperies. In created variants draperies are with decorative and constructive function. With presented way of transformation new designs of draped ladies' dresses are easy and successfully created. Every of the basic three types of drapery with decorative and constructive function: twist knot, twisted and free ones can be changed with other two types. The facilitating of design and pattern making is result not only that transformations are made on one basic model, but also that systemized approaches of constructing of twist knot and twisted draperies are used.

Today the design of embroidered textiles is aligned to the advanced technologies, according to what is fashionable or on-trend. Digital imaging is now a part of the textile design process and many fashion designers use the CAD in order to increase the precision, productivity and to offer organized information, but also to reduce lead times in production, thus reducing cost of garments. This paper will show how a textile design can be created by the means of the universal CAD system ASCON Kompas (we designed the shape of Sacred Geometry’s symbol “Flower of Life”) and Adobe Photoshop (for the colour combination). Later on we imported the designs in Hatch Embroidery Software, in order to create the embroidery models. Using Adobe Illustrator, we drawn some graphic sketches of garments and on those we added the embroideries which we already designed. The software which we used offered us the benefit of experimenting with a number of colours, textures, patterns and sketch backgrounds for producing a playful, distinct and animated design, without physically making a garment.

In the constructional base the front and back in the underarm there are parts which have to be set to the both-the bodice and the sleeve. For the front and the back that is possible if the sleeve and a part of the bodice are separated by a design constructional seam. The type and design of the sleeve depends by the directions of the design constructional seam. If the seam joins the underarm and the neckline, or area around the neckline the type of sleeve is raglan. If the seam connects the underarm and the shoulder the type of sleeve is semi raglan. The type of the sleeve is kimono if the design constructional seam divides the bodice or the sleeve. In the dropped shoulder sleeve design constructional seam is located under the shoulder. The use of the main design principles, the possibilities for combinations between the four types of sleeves and the design with application of 3D elements are investigated. Raglan, semi raglan, kimono and dropped shoulder sleeves can be combined each other. In combined sleeves only one of seams which define the types of the sleeves is with decorative constructional function. The other ones have only decorative function. Design constructional seams which define the types of the sleeves can be used as contours of location or fixation of all types of 3D elements: pleats, goffers, flounces, tucks gathers, and draperies. The results of the investigation of application of the main design principles, combinations between different types of sleeves and possibility for the use of 3D elements facilitate the process of fashion design and pattern making and gives opportunity for variety of models.

According to the ways of their constructing they are the most interesting 3D element for the process of pattern making too. They can be classified as free and fixed types. In clothing' design the both types can be used as only decorative or combined decorative and constructional elements. The draperies are used in every type of ladies' clothing but may be the ladies' dresses give possibilities for the more interesting designs. An investigation of all possible ways for designing and pattern making of draperies with decorative and constructional function in fashion design of ladies' dresses is presented in the paper. The free draperies located in the neckline have been presented in the paper, but the same ways of fashion design and pattern making can be used in down parts of dresses, skirts and trousers, in which draperies transform the waist darts. Analogical ways can be used in other details but in these cases the draperies will be with only decorative function. In the pattern making of the free draperies the number of the folds depends on the number of the equidistant arcs, but in the pattern making of the fixed draperies it is not binding the number of the folds to be equated to the number of lines which divide the detail. For the fixed draperied the fan-shaped arrangement according to only one line is enough and the bigger number of folds is a result of the interlacement. All studied in the paper ways of pattern making cover every possibility for fashion design of ladies' dresses or other ladies' garments with free or fixed draperies with decorative and constructional function. The results of the presented investigation of free and fixed draperies facilitate the process of fashion design and pattern making and gives opportunity for variety of models.

The silhouettes are non-volumetric and volumetric and 3D elements are more suitable for design of volumetric ones. For the realization of the purpose models of ladies’ dresses in different types of volumetric silhouettes with the use of different types of 3D elements are designed. One more silhouette – combined one can be added to the classification of the silhouettes. This type of silhouette can be combination between volumetric and non-volumetric shapes, or mixture of only volumetric ones. Every type of 3D elements can be used in design of volumetric silhouettes. And these types are: draperies; one-sided, bi-sided, and covered tucks; gathers, one-sided, bi-sided, and covered plates; goffers; ruffles; ribbons. 3D elements can be used in the fashion design of different types of silhouettes as elements which combined decorative and constructional function, or as only decorative ones.

The paper presents the use of the Golden spiral in textile design. Essentially the golden spiral is spiral symmetry or it forms spiral symmetry and for creation of beautiful and harmonic forms in the textile design it is used in combination which are based on the rhythms, results of the other three types of symmetry – mirror, radial and translating ones. The different types of rhythms are combined with suitable color combinations. Very interesting is the use of the spiral polygons, which included golden spirals in number equal to number of the polygons’ sides. Keywords: Golden Spiral; Spiral Polygons; Textile; Design.

And these types are: draperies; one-sided, bi-sided, and covered tucks; gathers, one-sided, bi-sided, and covered plates; goffers; ruffles; ribbons. 3D elements can be used in the fashion design of different types of silhouettes as elements which combined decorative and constructional function, or as only decorative ones.
textile design using the mirror, radial and translated symmetry and the plain rhythms as result from their combinations. The design is more successful when the geometrical ornaments are combined with suitable colors according to the connections between colors and lines on the base of their meaning, the latest fashion
trends, and national traditions.
and they are used in textile and fashion design. The paper presents the use of the Golden spiral in textile
design. Essentially the golden spiral is spiral symmetry or it forms spiral symmetry and for creation of
beautiful and harmonic forms in the textile design it is used in combination which are based on the rhythms,
results of the other three types of symmetry – mirror, radial and translating ones. The different types of
rhythms are combined with suitable color combinations. Very interesting is the use of the spiral polygons,
which included golden spirals in number equal to number of the polygons’ sides.
