    (CCSHAU, 2005) Beniwal, Sangeeta; Rose, Neelam M.
    The present study was conducted to develop shirt designs (top) to be used with trouser for different figure types- tall and slender, tall and stout, short and slender and short and stout. Eighty sketched shirt designs were evaluated by the respondents who have the knowledge of designing according to figure type. Pink color was selected, brightest for tall and slender, dull and cool for tall and stout, light-bright for short and slender and for short and stout dullest colour. Medium weight fabric was selected for all figure types. Preferred designs were developed in Coral Draw 10 with application of colour. Out of these, one most preferred design was selected by judges. Model values were calculated of different body measurements for each figure type and one most preferred design for each figure type was constructed by taking these values. Total of four shirts were constructed and suitability assessment was done. Training was imparted to rural women on designing according to figure types. Regarding preferences of sketched shirt designs, the result elucidated that 5 most preferred designs for tall and slender were number 6, 1, 9, 7 and 2, for tall and stout design number 2, 12, 8, 18 and 7, design number 3, 5, 7, 17 and 18 for short and slender and design number 4, 10, 8, 2 and 13 for short and stout. Result on preferences for preferred designs after application of color, revealed that design number 6 for tall and slender, design number 2 for tall and stout, design number 7 for short and slender and design number 10 for short and stout were considered most preferred designs for construction of shirts. Suitability assessment of shirts for different figure types elucidated that the features used in designs were effective in producing the desired effect of proportionate figure and camouflage the figure irregularities. There was significant gain in knowledge of women after training regarding different aspects of designing. The results revealed that majority of respondents were willing to adopt this technique for self-employment. Correlation between dependent and independent variable elucidated that age, income and education was non- significantly correlated with gain in knowledge.
