Match List I with List II.

Codes

Correct option is A

1. (a) Shiny textures – (iii) Make the person appear larger:
· Shiny surfaces reflect light and draw attention, making areas look more prominent, thus adding visual bulk to the body.
2. (b) Dull textures – (i) Do not enlarge the body and are suitable for all body types:
· Dull or matte surfaces absorb light and help create a balanced look, without exaggerating body contours.
3. (c) Soft and clingy fabrics – (iv) Reveal body irregularities:
· These fabrics closely follow body curves, thereby highlighting every contour and irregularity.
4. (d) Stiff bulky fabrics – (v) Hide body irregularities and add weight to the body:
· These fabrics do not drape closely, hence they conceal body shape but can add volume, making one appear heavier.
Information Booster:
· Texture is a vital design element in clothing construction, directly influencing how a garment fits, drapes, and impacts body perception.
· Shiny and stiff textures enhance volume, while soft and dull textures minimize or define body contours.
· Fashion designers use textile texture properties to accentuate or hide body areas, ensuring garments suit different body types.
