Abstract	Stripes, an illusion pattern, can make one look taller, shorter, wider, narrower, and accentuate one's face or other characteristics. In fashion, stripes are also called lines. Line seems to be a simple line, but it can be quite versatile and can be used as crucial elements of design. As we all know that line is a fundamental element of design which establishes not only the outline of a garment but also creates an illusion in the dress. It is an extremely useful & versatile realistic tool that is made to function in both visual & verbal ways. Line leads the eye in the direction it is going & divides the area through which it passes, thus providing a breaking in space. It also defines a shape or a silhouette and conveys a mood or a character. Interestingly, it creates visual illusions such as height and width and makes a figure look thin & thick. Line manipulates space, divides space, encloses space, organizes space, pushes and pulls it, separates and contours it. There are many kinds of lines – diagonal, undulating and spiral, dotted, perpendicular, dominating, straight, horizontal, vertical, thin, thick, curved and zig- zag. Each line can create its own amazing effect in dress designing. The body imperfections can be successfully hidden with the help of this interesting element of design in many ways. Psychologically, lines make the eyes twist and control our brain in such a way that our eyes follow them to the point at which they meet & become a focal point making that part of the body look smaller. Conversely, when lines move away (diverge) from each other, the eyes follow them to the end making the wearer look broader. Thick lines convey strength & alertness while thin lines imply firmness & stability in one’s character. There are an infinite number of physical features, and each person has their own unique combination of these features, and to create the illusion of balance and proportion many tricks could be played with the simplest yet most important element of design i.e. ‘LINE’. It has functional as well as emotional significance.
