There are two basic divisions of designing in the field of garment technology.
1. Structural designing
2. Decorative designing
Structural Design
Structural designs are intrinsic parts of materials. They are created through manipulation of fabrications, color, or texture. Structural design created through fabrication depends on the use of color and texture in the yarns forming loops or interlacing patterns in the fabric. The knitting machines or looms must also have the technology for varying fabric structure. Structural designs formed as the material is made.Structural design includes the all over design of a garment. The form and shape plus all the details involved in assembling the sections of the garment such as darts, pleats, tucks, etc are the part of structural design.It may add a decorative quality if emphasized by color contrast or row of topstitching to outline the basic garment parts. In apparel, structural design is more important because it is the fundamental component of the design.To draw a structural design a form or human croquet is not necessary. The designers in the buying house do these designs. In this category, the designs are drawn on the specification chart where many trimmings are not used. This design will be simple and well defined by their construction, color, thread, and trimmings to be used. It will not be draped on the form. It will be speeded so that the pattern master can create a proper sample according to the specifications mentions such as its measurements, its sweep line (Hemline) its neckline and any other type of cuts used.
Decorative Design

It is not produced in bulk so it will have more trimmings, prints, embroidery, buttons (that do not fasten) and tacked on bows. The customer will select the garment that is designed, then it will be very costly, in these designs the fabric style and color combinations are described so that one can select the design. In this design category specification charts are not prepared, not it is stitched for standard measurement. It is the design and outfit are made for an individual customer.The decorative design is created by printing, embroidery, quilting, appliqué, or other forms of fabric decoration. Some decorative designs are mass produced and very economical. Others are individual creations that are highly labor intensive. Roller and screen printing is probably the most commonly used forms of decorative design. Problems that are sometimes associated with printed designs are fuzzy patterns.In general, structural designs are more permanent better quality; and more durable than decorative designs.
