Clothing and Geometry Sketches may use circles or triangles. Some may use rectangles. For example, a designer may sketch a boy’s jacket. He may use two rectangles to stand in for the sleeves and one for the main body of the jacket. There may be a hood shaped like a triangle. The designer can also use geometry in the design of the jacket. Maybe it will have square pockets on the front.

Fashion designers often create clothes that have line symmetry. That’s because many people think that clothes with line symmetry look good. Many designers give dresses line symmetry. Suppose you drew a line down the center of a dress with line symmetry. The left side of the dress would look like the right side of the dress flipped over.
