New approaches to designing clothing with structural and decorative elements

The article proposes solutions and criteria for selecting design elements in garment construction, taking into account model-specific features. In this context, a classification system is developed using various types of pockets as an example. The main structural and decorative components are identified, including their names, functions, shapes and sizes, additional elements, placement, and technological characteristics. The basic requirements for the selection process are given and the combined elements that form and complete the elements of clothing details are combined. The variants of mutually substituting various components are systematized, divided into groups of purposes and names of individual parts used in sewing products and compiled to create a database. A classification of CTE has been compiled and a category of varieties of types of parts has been determined using the example of various pockets with a certain system of combinations of interacting elements assembled into groups, their geometric, spatial and decorative parameters reflect. These groups are created as a basis for creating a database intended for integration into clothing design information systems. The presented research results can be used to create a database in an information technology system, thus increasing the efficiency of providing variations of flexible productivity systems in the garment industry.
