The Innovative Applications Of Tie-dye Smocking Structure In Clothing Design

Tie-dye, known as "the pattern-dye" in ancient times, is one of the three traditional ways of dye in China. Plunging fold is an important factor decided to tie dye works final unique effect. Based on the system to dye the fold structure experiment and innovative application proved that the tie-dyed fold structure in the clothing design and apply the feasibility and innovation.This paper first defines tie-dye fold structure as in the process of production of Chinese traditional tie-dye process by strapping fabrics this process to produce the style of the fabric drape, and plunging fold structure is divided into intensive fold structure form and scattered point fold. Secondly, on the basis of the traditional tie-dye banding structure of scattered point fold form to design innovation, as fundamental point structure mode, individual geometric forms and geometrical axisymmetric combination structure, geometric rotation symmetric combination form and other forms, such as multiple forming dimension series of fabric drape structure strapping effect from practice. And the same kind of fold structure mode in the clothing of different structure effect formed by the position of each are not identical.The quantity of the same kind of fold structure the use of the garment effect of visual perception and rendering style of clothing has a certain influence. Finally, the practice of innovation fold structure used in the clothing design, this can not only enrich the clothing modelling design elements, break the routine of costume design rules, also widened the perspective for clothing modelling diversity provide more possible.
