Abstract

This research aims to inspire the inscriptions of Al-Roushan Al-Hijazi to create designs for women's galabia, whose ages range from 35 to 45 years and a body size ranging from 38 to 42.The sources of inspiration from the Al-Roshan Al-Hijazi inscriptions were characterized by the distinctive plastic values and characteristics, which basically depend on the geometric and plant formations of high repetitive intensity, and were employed in line with the foundations and elements of design with the aim to achieve the aesthetic and functional aspects of the innovative created designs. The inscriptions of Al-Roshan Al-Hijazi are represented in each of (geometric shapes, “straight lines, oblique lines, parallel lines, intersecting lines), which are employed through the use of modern digital technologies such as (Electronic design software, digital printing, automatic embroidery). Specialists and women consumers’ opinions were measured regarding the novice designs represented in the (15) designs for women's galabiya and the implementation of some selections thereof, which obtained the highest results by the research samples (specialists and women consumers), as well as identifying the opinions of both specialists and women consumers regarding the implemented designs, which are represented in the Two designs.

The research used the descriptive approach to measure the opinions of both specialists and women consumers regarding the proposed designs, with the application of a selection of some designs thereof.
