Motifs development of Chok Tai-Yuan fabrics for fashion design

Abstract

The purposes of Motifs Development of Chok Tai-Yuan Fabrics for Fashion Design are to develop the Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi for fashion designing; and to create the patterns that can be applied for men and women apparel designing.The study aims to develop the Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi province by applying the unique pattern for the design; and to re-design the pattern, by using the principles of pattern design, to be suit with men and women apparel designing. Researchers selected the descriptive analysis method with the statistical data for analyzing the data of Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns. The collected data were all applied in developing the styles of Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi. Also, the authors has surveyed the satisfaction of 100 samples for the work pieces of developing the Tai- Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns for fashion designing. The survey is to conclude the satisfaction for the developed patterns’ styles. The results showed that, nowadays, the Tai-Yuan Jok fabrics in Ratchaburi are consisted of patterns applied from the weavers by using their experiences in weaving the Jok fabrics. Thus, the patterns have been combined with the traditional styles and the applied ones which are done in accordance with the age.Those patterns have different composition that depends on the weavers’ desire. Patterns can be categorized in three groups: 1. traditional pattern; 2. the combination of traditional pattern and the applied one; and 3. the applied pattern. So, this study has selected the feature of traditional pattern and the dominant feature of applied pattern to be the concepts in developing the Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns for fashion designing for 4 patterns. The results of the survey of the satisfaction from the samples found that they are content with the fabric’s patterns development. Also, they think that this development of the patterns will maintain the unique of Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi province and they will be able to apply these concepts of fabric’s pattern developing with the support of textile production for fashion design.
