Georgian Traditional Clothing Silhouette and Its Coding

Abstract

Creation of modern clothing collections using ethnic elements requires a detailed knowledge of traditional clothing as a primary source from the designer. Over time, museum samples of national costume will become more unique and valuable, and access to them will be even more limited. One of the approaches to solving the mentioned problem is the creation of a database and search information program in a single digital format by systematizing clothing elements. Based on the above, the preservation of Georgian traditional clothes in an innovative way (in digital form), contactless virtual access and use as needed is a current direction of scientific research. In order to solve the set task, it is important to conduct an analysis of the constructive-compositional characteristics, among which the silhouette shape of the garment is an important indicator. It has been assigned the first level in the classification of elements of traditional clothing.
In order to determine the silhouette, the museum exhibits were studied in the regional and national museums, in particular, the dress forms included in the ethnosamos complexes, the quality of their clothing on the body.
The analysis of the ethnoforms of the Georgian dress revealed that three types of silhouettes are common: extended, straight and extended. The frequency of meetings of the mentioned forms according to the regions and accordingly the percentage ratio of the meeting from the total number was determined. Based on the number of meetings of silhouette forms, their coding was carried out using the methods of mathematical statistics.
The results of the conducted research showed that among the silhouette forms of the dress, the drawn silhouette is the most often found, the extended silhouette is less common, and the straight silhouette is relatively rare, although the difference between the number of meeting the mentioned silhouettes is not significant.
Thus, the results obtained from the conducted research will be used during the formation of the electronic bank of traditional clothing characteristics, based on which a program will be developed, through which it will be possible to obtain comprehensive information about museum samples without direct contact with them.
