Jasmine Floral Pattern VS Body Size Illusion

Abstract

Clothing has been one of the necessities and with clothing a desirable look can be achieved. Further, the desire for perfect body figures is what most human seek for and this desire is ubiquitous across the world. However, the fast lifestyle has created fast foods, which have affected the body size and shape of a human. One intangible approach to tackling apparel's different body shape requirements is placing the right size and pattern on a specific body type. Thus, this paper is on advising types of design patterns – acting as optical illusions – that can affect viewer perceptions of body size. The overall approach is to create patterns by manipulating the Jasmine flower in creating design patterns to aid viewers' perceptions of body size. The developed pattern using the Jasmin flower was tested on four different male and female body shapes. These body shapes were created using a 3-dimensional avatar approach, and the data collection was created with a moving avatar (3D models) walking while wearing theproposed pattern. The study uses a quantitative method of magnitude estimation to collect the data. The study confirms the ideaof different placement of patterns in triggering the illusion of visual perception of body shapes.
