DESIGNING WOMEN's AND MEN's DRESSY CLOTHING IN the ENSEMBLE 

IN the previous sections have considered the design of certain types of clothing as separate items or as components of a kit suit a particular purpose. Meanwhile, the artists can have a task more challenging, namely, the design suit different purpose in the ensemble. 
In practical life: work, service, exit, home is more convenient to use set of clothes because of the set items can be easily replaced.
In such cases, replacing a variety of clothing, add-ons it is possible to change the purpose of the suit, using it for a particular kind of activity. You can, of course, design as an ensemble suit for any purpose, but this is not always practical, convenient and feasible. 
But there are costumes that need to be solved only on the basis of the ensemble. That's the type of costumes and treats dressy clothes for special occasions, suits for special assignments.
The main part of any ensemble is the outfit: dress, coat, suit and other products. Other parts of the ensemble is its add-ons and accessories: shoes, hats, headdresses, gloves, jewelry, handbags, briefcases, belts, umbrellas etc.
The design of the ensemble starts with the determination of the nature of its main parts in accordance with the purpose of use. All part of the ensemble, clothes and add-ons needs to be solved in the same style, in harmony with each other and form a coherent whole. Most often the main part of the ensemble is clothing or any part of it, such as a dress or coat. But there may be occasions when the main part of the ensemble is not the clothes, e.g. hat or decoration.
The number of things included in the ensemble may be different - small, like a beach ensemble, or large as in the ensemble for concert (dress, coat, shoes, hat, gloves, stockings, jewelry, bag). 
  Headdress - part of the costume, like clothes, has a utilitarian and artistic value. The headpiece is part of the ensemble. Its forms are closely associated with attire and have a common stylistic decision. For example, to coat sports type must be selected matching headpiece - veretebrates form or sport, dressy coat - hat "fantasy," etc.
For the female toilets hats are particularly important. For good reason women are given the right to stay everywhere in the headdress. Headpiece attaches to the expressiveness and completeness of the toilet for any purpose. The role of the headdress lies in the fact that it creates a closure of the volumetric spatial form of the ensemble. Hat, and hairstyle can dramatically change the shape of the head and face of a person to visually increase its growth, change, completeness and proportions of the figure (of course in combination with other parts of the costume).Like clothing, hats vary in purpose, seasons, depending on the sex and age of the person. Forms of headwear, such as women's hats, like clothing, its style decision differ as a classical (strict), sports and "fantasy". They have the same properties of the spatial shape of clothing. The composition of forms of headwear based on the same laws and means of communication, and clothing. Shapes of hats are closely associated with the development of fashion.
  Shoes is an integral part of almost all the toilets for various purposes. Shoes is the most utilitarian part of a suit person, but also serves as its artistic goals as it completes the costume, and the ensemble ends the isolation of its spatial shape. 
Heel height of shoes affects the proportions of the costume and the human figure. Of the Shoe depends on the posture of the man, his gait, movements.
In accordance with the purpose of the suit, the shoes are divided into home, casual, elegant, output, sports, etc. in addition, the shoes differs according to the seasons, depending on the sex and age of the person. 
The form of the Shoe varied, both in General and in composite parts of different materials and finishes of the shoes. The development of forms of footwear is greatly influenced by fashion, but the shape of shoes changed less frequently than uniforms and hats. Greater stability form of footwear is connected with the peculiarities of its production, and its utilitarian value in the suit. 
  Stockings, socks - integral part of modern costume. Like shoes, they have a certain artistic value. Stockings, socks can serve as a means of communication or natural transition from clothing to shoes. Like shoes, they help to create isolation, the completeness of the spatial shape of the ensemble. 
  Gloves, in addition to utilitarian values - protection of human hands, have an artistic value in the suit. They complete a many toilets for various purposes, as in the ensemble create the isolation of its spatial shape.
Gloves have different shape, length, can be made of different materials, using a variety of finishes. Their shape, color, size, and material determine the artistic value of the bathroom. Knitted mittens with traditional ornament give the toilet a national character, pubescent fur mittens underscore the sportiness of the suit, and long lace or nylon gloves give completeness to the evening fancy dress. Shape features gloves, but the material and finish are determined by the fashion and purpose of the suit. 
  Decoration included in the ensemble , playing a role. In addition to its direct purpose - to decorate a piece of costume and the man himself, they are used to emphasize or highlight a certain part of the ensemble. Necklaces, brooches, pendants, bracelets, earrings, cufflinks, charms, chains, artificial flowers and other products give a special colouring to suit. Some ornaments are both decorative and practical value. So, a brooch, a pin can fasten a shawl, scarf; cufflinks button cuff sleeves and other Jewelry belong to the accessories. 
  Bags, umbrellas, canes and other accessories complement the costumes a particular purpose. Your performing some utilitarian, practical function, these add-ons create the desired background, revealing the purpose of the ensemble costume.
For example, bags in women's restrooms can be: economic, business, beach, dressy for evening toilets. 
  Fancy dress - as the name suggests - is to decorate the person. Fancy dress must meet its purpose, the situation and the place of use. Dressy toilets should contribute to the creation of good mood of a person and a festive environment. In its use depending on the time of day dresses are divided into daytime and evening. Environment and man in womens clothing can be very diverse. This can be a way out to dinner, dinner at a restaurant, dancing, theatre, concert, exhibition etc.More festive atmosphere may be at a premiere of a play, concert, Vernissage, at the prom, wedding, new year ball etc.
As a decoration of the human, fancy dress, more than any other types of clothing must meet the individual peculiarities of appearance and of human nature: demeanor, simplicity, modesty or extravagance. It should be noted that the fancy dress is such clothing, especially where important artistic quality clothes. Therefore, the new proposals of fashion: the silhouette, the proportions, the cut, the details usually appear first in elegant dresses. And only after final recognition of a particular novelty, its use in other types of clothing.
The influence of the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter - is set mainly in the top womens clothing; women's cotton dress and dressy men's suits seasonality is less important. 
The effect of the season affects the material, the trimmings, the necessary additions of elegant toilet, hairstyle, cosmetics. 
Under the influence of fashion, there is a General desire to get closer to that type of appearance and physique, which in this time and in this public environment is considered to be beautiful and fashionable.
And if you can't lengthen or shorten, to reduce, or thicken figure of a man, the next techniques: - cut articulation in the form of hats, shoes, etc., you can create the right impression. These visual illusions are created through the use of forms of all integral parts of elegant ensemble: garments, hats, shoes, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewelry, etc. 
Fabric for dressy womens dresses can be a variety of raw materials, formulation, color, pattern, but they don't have to wear everyday. 3 elegant clothing in all cases of cloth serve a purpose of decoration of the person.
Feature of womens clothing lies in the fact that all of her form, indicating the nature of the service profession, sport activities and other human activities, have been eliminated or masked. Even the convenience and practicality should be hidden. Each main part of the fancy dress - bodice, skirt should hide their constructive essence as frame shape. Constructive clothing should be in a decorative form.
Dressed in clothing items should not be practical. Various kinds of draping, kokila, scarves, capes, finishes help to hide, to disguise the functional traits gowns as protective clothing and highlight its main features as decoration.
Such parts of fancy dress, like the sleeves, the collar is often missing, as they have a direct functional significance. The presence of these parts is acceptable if it is given the value of decorative items such as additional decorations of the main foundations of the dresses - bodice and skirt. The presence of such details as pockets, is completely unacceptable. If they do, they should be hidden, camouflaged or decorative. The same can be said about the clasp. If closure is done, it must be emphasized decorative value.Buttons should be "finishing" or replaced by bows, ties, a variety of jewelry: brooch, pin and Belt. draped, tie in a bow or fastened with a buckle decoration.

In Fig. 127 shows a dressy women's clothing: dressy Sunday suit (Fig. 127, a) collarless jacket and slim skirt, 3/4 sleeves and a hidden zipper on the bows; wide dressy coat (Fig. 127, b) with a collar stand, behind neck, cropped sleeves, hidden closure; evening dress (Fig. 127 in) without sleeves, a highly low-cut with an asymmetric form solution; coat (Fig. 127, g) for evening dress with short sleeves, asymmetrical collar, behind the neck, and a zipper bow.
Shapes-silhouettes of women's elegant dresses can be very diverse, of course, within the accepted fashion. It is possible to distinguish two types of uniforms: 
1. Dresses of the so-called active forms with additions that enhance the ornamentality of the dress. The clothes of these forms makes the man; it is elegant, decorative and sophisticated.
2. Dresses neutral forms, which in themselves are simple, but serve as a background frame for the human, emphasize the natural external data: the beauty of the face, shoulders, arms, legs, or emphasize the sophistication, wealth and other qualities, fabrics or add-ons (jewelry, jewelry, furs, etc.). 
Dresses of the first type forms decide in the style of "fantasy". The second forms the characteristic austerity of the style (classic shape).

In Fig. 128 illustrates these two kinds of forms of elegant clothes. The first dress (Fig. 128, a) has a fantasy solution, complex elegant shapes; the second dress (Fig. 128, b) a simple classical form, against which underlined highlighted finish bottom of the dress, jewelry, hat.
