Button sizes The size of the button varies depending on its usage. Shirt buttons are normally small, and spaced close together, but coat buttons are comparatively larger and spaced apart. Button sizes are normally expressed in ‘lignes’ with 40 lignes equal to 1 inch. For example, some standard sizes of buttons are 16 lignes (10.16 mm, standard button of men's shirts) and 32 lignes (20.32 mm, typical button on suit jackets). 13.1.2.3 Buttonholes Both button loops and buttonholes may be found individually and in sets.

A layer of lining material between the body of the wearer and the top cloth will rectify this problem. d) Linings are frequently used to aid in the development of design features on garments. Consumer appeal: The luster and surface characteristics of the lining materials have a significant influence on the consumer appeal. The main characteristics for linings most commonly used are: i. Taffeta: A crisp fabric woven with a faint warp pattern which produces a shiny surface. ii. Crepe: Made from specially processed yarns, typically viscose acetate, the finished surface of this lining material has a uniformly crinkled form. iii. Satin (sateen): This lining is distinguished by the highly lustrous and smooth face surface and a dull back surface. Color of lining material also plays an crucial role and some branded companies incorporate their logo in the weave pattern of their linings. 13.2.1.3 Selection of linings There are diverse mixtures of fabrics appropriate for use as a lining. The deciding factors for the selection of lining include: Type of fashion fabric Style of garment Type of lining; whether it is partial or

The piece is entirely made up of visible and heavy brush strokes as the artist intermingles his opaque colors. The impasto strokes alternate between creamy thick and thicker as the paint collects on top of the canvas. The artist switches between short quick daubs and long strokes, which is shown on the fabric hanging in the back and the far right wall. The texture is rough because it has dense drips of paint and has minor scratches that allow the colors underneath to bleed through. The texture in the painting supports and enhances the rushed brush strokes because it balances the layers. The balance of layers from the colors gives the painting an abstract touch and draws the eyes down to the foreground where most of the texture is found on the ground and cover. The artist does a terrific job of introducing texture in concentrated areas of the painting. The choppy brush strokes on the fabric hanging tie the lumpier ground

Weaving is a common thread among cultures around the world. Weaving is a way of producing cloth or textile. Today we have machines that weave large-scale textiles at cheap prices. Production of cloth by hand is rarely engaged in today’s Westernized societies. Not many people are thinking about how the fibers are actually constructed to make their clothes. However, in other cultures across the world the tradition of weaving still exists. By comparing three cultures that continue weaving as a part of their tradition we can see similarities and the differences between them. The reasons that each culture still weaves vary, as do the methods and materials. The desired characteristics of the cloth also vary around the world as each culture values different aesthetics.

Needles are most commonly made from metal, wood, bamboo, or plastic (McIntosh 43). Needles also come in various sizes, including length and diameter. The diameter determines the size of the stitch and the length is important for the size of the project (McIntosh 43). McIntosh provides the example that you use a larger diameter needle for larger stitches and longer needles for large projects, like shawls (43). Furthermore, needles are available in three different styles and the style that you use is normally based on personal preference. The first two styles are very similar in that they have slender shafts intended to “hold the stitches that are not yet woven into the knitted fabric to prevent them from unraveling” (McIntosh 43). The only difference between these two is that the first, and most popular, style are pointed at one end and have knobs on the other, whereas the second are pointed on both ends. The third style of needles – known as circular knitting needles – have two pointed ends “connected by a flexible cord that holds the unworked stitches” (McIntosh 43). The knob on the first style of needles is meant to keep stiches from sneaking off the needle. The purpose of the pointed end is to create new stitches, which is why it can be found on all three styles. In order to create new stitches, the knitter “insert[s] the tapered end of one needle through
