A line of Indo-western dresses on peacock theme was designed using twenty peacock motifs comprising of top ten motifs from each category, i.e. realistic and stylized motifs, adjudged best by a panel of ten judges. For designing Indo-western dresses, motif R9 was most preferred (mean scores 4.80) by the judges followed by motif R20 which obtained second rank with mean scores 4.40. Among the stylized motifs, S20 motif was most preferred (mean scores 5.60) followed by motif S17 which obtained second rank with mean scores 5.50.

Abstract


A line of Indo-western dresses on peacock theme was designed using twenty peacock motifs comprising of top ten motifs from each category, i.e. realistic and stylized motifs, adjudged best by a panel of ten judges. For designing Indo-western dresses, motif R9 was most preferred (mean scores 4.80) by the judges followed by motif R20 which obtained second rank with mean scores 4.40. Among the stylized motifs, S20 motif was most preferred (mean scores 5.60) followed by motif S17 which obtained second rank with mean scores 5.50. Twenty innovative designs of Indo-western dresses were developed in Corel Draw X5 by using ten most preferred peacock motifs which were highly appreciated by the college-going girls.
