The pleats in the formal dress and in the lamp shade both share same texture qualities. Each is gathered and folded back and forth in the form of a knife pleat (the most popular kind). This gives the fabric a smooth appearance, rather than a poof.

Accessories usually are the most popular items when it comes down to snake or crocodile skin. The red shoe and the gray clutch handbag both share the same texture of crocodile skin. The surface is shinny and a little rough because of the square pattern. I compared the merchandise to a crocodile because it is the best example. Also, I thought a stain glass window was a great example of texture for these products because it is colorful, has interesting shape, a smooth surface, durable, and luxurious.

Lace & Detail Design!
Although lace has been around for years, it still resembles elegance and sophistication. The white lace top pattern texture is similar to the white flowers in the background. Both are detailed and have similar qualities. The gray dress lace is designed with several different patterns just like the gray fan. Both seem heavier in texture because of the profound shade of color and use of space. The black lace dress is twisted with a similar Irish style. The rough pattern of the dress is similar to the cake dish, both serve a rice and romantic passion.

FUR!

The white fur hat is soft, fluffy and clean. The similar features are portrayed through the polar bears coat. Most fur merchandised comes form mammals especially in the winter time. Fur used in other garments may be dyed to display a certain pattern. Fake fur is produced from synthetic fibers (like stuffed teddy bears). There is a lot of controversy in the fashion industry about most is regulated. http://www2.2space.net/images/upl_newsImage/1207724637.jpg (fur hat)

(polar bear)Fuzzy & Fluffy!

During Milan's Fashion Week 2008-2009 the dress has similar qualitys as this duster sea creature. Both are fuzzy like feathers and flow naturally. They both sway and have a soft appeal.
Flat and Stiff!
This Christan Dior Contour Spring 2007 dress is given a unique structure. The texture of the dress is developed out of several flat surfaces which are layered. The dress is stiff, just like the origami image in the back ground. The origami image has similar features of flat, layers, and some geometrical style, which gives it a solid and unbending appearance.
