Fashion Design Fundamentals Flashcards

This flashcard set introduces the core ideas behind fashion design, from the visual elements that shape a garment to the practical choices that turn a sketch into wearable clothing. It covers silhouette and design principles, fabric and textile behavior, basic garment construction, fit and body measurement, and the design process from inspiration to final sample. Each group moves from foundational vocabulary toward applied decisions a designer makes in practice.

To study effectively, read each question and answer one at a time, and say the answer aloud in your own words before checking it. Try to picture or sketch the idea, since fashion is a visual discipline. Return to cards you miss, and connect related cards, such as how fabric weight affects drape or how seam allowance affects fit. Review one group per session, then mix groups together to test recall across the whole topic. Keep a sketchbook nearby and note examples from garments you see in stores or photographs. Real examples make abstract terms easier to remember and apply.
