Not, however, the very good Hockney-inspired rainbow of streamlined separates in primary colors it came with; not the transparent slipdresses with pleated skirts and tanks slashed by broken geometries and hung on the hip, skinny trouser suits with luggage straps shirring the sleeves, or organza tuxedo shells embroidered with overlapping petals to form the shape of the continents as seen from outer space.

She achieves this look by using techniques like layering, smocking, and shirring. All of Zandra Rhodes garments are constructed around the design of her distinct prints, despite being structured around the formation of the dress. Rhodes designed for Diana, Princess of Wales, and continues to design for royalty and celebrities. She has notably designed costumes for Luke Spiller of The Struts, and Freddie Mercury and Brian May of Queen.

Buttons and zippers are the most common choices for sweaters, but frogs, ties and belts are also seen. Shoulder pads and other shaping devices are uncommon, but can be included to define a particular silhouette. The fabric of the sweater can be ornamented with various textures, such as gathers, ruffles, pleats, ruching and shirring. Ornamental patterns can be added using beads, buttons, sequins, bobbles, ribbons and knots, as well as appliqué or cordwork.

In 1937, Rouff opened a London outpost at 12a Stanhope Gate, Park Lane.

"Style No. 14" puzzle box Singer accessory kits were sold in fold-out 'Style' boxes, numbered consecutively as newer versions evolved from older ones. The numbers begin at 1 ("Style No. 1") and culminate at 14 during the era of the 27 model series. The boxes included accessory attachments for hemming, braiding, underbraiding, tucking, shirring, binding, quilting, and ruffling, plus spare needles, bobbins, screws, and screwdrivers. Today such a box is called a "puzzle box", but this is a recent term: it is not mentioned in the original Style manuals.

Ruching created by sewing stitches down the centre of a fabric strip, then pulling one end of the thread to gather the fabric. In the sewing technique ruching (pronounced , also spelled rouching), a large number of increases are introduced in one row, which are then removed by decreases a few rows later. This produces many small vertical ripples or "ruches" in the fabric, effectively little pleats. The technique of shirring produces a similar effect by gathering the fabric in two parallel rows (not necessarily horizontal), usually by smocking.

Then the genetic algorithm is used to generate all the possible face regions which include the eyebrows, the iris, the nostril and the mouth corners. Each possible face candidate is normalized to reduce both the lighting effect, which is caused by uneven illumination; and the shirring effect, which is due to head movement. The fitness value of each candidate is measured based on its projection on the eigen-faces. After a number of iterations, all the face candidates with a high fitness value are selected for further verification.
