Abstract
The study was conducted to create, construct and
embellish the developed kameez design for stout women and
their assessment for slenderizing effect. The study was
conducted in Hisar city of Haryana State in two phases i.e.
phase-I, in which market survey was done to find out the
suitable texture and colour of the fabric for stout women and
prevalent embellishment trend. In phase-II, five top ranked
developed kameez designs were constructed, embellished and
assessed by the experts for suitability, becomingness,
embellishment and slenderizing effect. Medium weight, slightly
limp, lizzy-bizzy fabric in darkest shade of dull purple colour was
found most suitable fabric for stout women. Deep and narrow
pointed āVā neckline with full length tucks, princess line and
quarter length well fitted sleeves were found to be highly suitable
constructed features of kameez in creating the slenderizing effect.
Machine embroidery ornamented with sequins and beads
separately was mostly found around the neckline along the border
of the sleeve and princess line. Thus, all the five designs created
and constructed with specific constructional features and prevalent
embellishment techniques were in accordance with the needs of
stout women as these were helpful in creating the illusion of slim
figure and also as per latest fashion trend.
The specific embellishment techniques in monochromatic and
double split complementary colour schemes were helpful in
emphasizing the constructional features of kameez and creating
harmony and rhythm in design.
