Analysis Suminagashi Technique of Marbling Pattern Stability in Transfer Process Fabric Media: A Comparative Study on Satin, Polyester Blend, and Crepe
This study examines the suminagashi marbling technique with a focus on pattern stability during the transfer process onto textile media. The objective is to analyze the effect of fabric type on the visual quality of marbling patterns and color fastness. A quantitative comparative experimental design was employed, testing three fabric types—satin polyester, polyester blend, and crepe—under controlled conditions. Fifteen trained panelists from the Fashion Education Program at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) assessed the products using a validated observation sheet. The independent variable was fabric type based on fiber composition, while the dependent variables were marbling pattern quality and color fastness after washing. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test. Results showed no statistically significant difference in pattern quality (H = 3.22; p = 0.20) or color fastness (H = 4.61; p = 0.10) across fabric types, thus H₀ was accepted. Empirically, however, crepe fabric achieved the highest scores in both pattern quality (X̄ = 3.53; Very Good) and color fastness (X̄ = 3.80; Very Good), outperforming satin polyester (X̄ = 3.38 and 3.68) and polyester blend (X̄ = 3.03 and 2.85). The superior performance of crepe is attributed to its hygroscopic silk–rayon fiber composition and textured surface morphology, which facilitate deeper dye penetration and stable pattern transfer. All three fabrics are viable for suminagashi-based fashion accessories, with crepe yielding the highest aesthetic and functional quality.

The Feasibility of Exploring Dimensional Pleated Design in the Design of the “Thiravela” Stage Gown
Stage attire not only functions as body covering, but also as a medium of visual expression that can strengthen the character and narrative of the performance. However, the exploration of pleats in stage attire still tends to be focused on two-dimensional decorative aspects, so that the potential of pleats as elements that form dimension, volume, and visual dynamics has not been optimally utilized. This study aims to design a glamorous stage gown with an ocean wave theme through the exploration of pleated dimensions as a visual representation of the movement and depth of the sea. The research method used is a design research with a descriptive percentage approach. The design process explores the concept, moodboard preparation, design development, pleating technique experiments, and the realization of the dress prototype. The design feasibility assessment was carried out using an assessment instrument compiled based on theoretical studies related to fashion design, clothing construction, aesthetics, and comfort. Data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive techniques by calculating the feasibility percentage based on the scores obtained and the maximum score to determine the level of product feasibility. The results showed that the designed stage gown obtained a feasibility assessment percentage of 95.5% with the category "Very Feasible". This finding indicates that the exploration of dimensional pleats can produce visuals resembling ocean waves, strengthen the impression of glamour, and create a dynamic and comfortable silhouette to wear as stage attire. The conclusion of this study confirms that the dimensional pleating technique contributes significantly to innovation in stage fashion design and can be an alternative for developing fashion designs based on the exploration of natural forms and inspiration. The results of this study indicate that the exploration of the dimensional pleating technique has important implications for the development of contemporary stage fashion design. Theoretically, this study can enrich the study of fashion design by confirming that fabric manipulation techniques not only function as decorative elements, but can also act as an effective visual representation medium in conveying narrative, movement, and the depth of natural inspiration.

Analisis Teknik Pemotongan Rambut Gradasi sebagai Dasar Keterampilan Tata Kecantikan
This study aims to analyze the application of graduation haircut techniques as a foundational skill in beauty and hairdressing for students. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method using a case study design. Data were collected through lecturer explanations during demonstrations of graduation techniques, observations of third-semester students’ haircutting practices, and photographic documentation of haircuts, analyzed in terms of neatness, shape, and technique accuracy. The results indicate that most students were able to apply graduation techniques effectively, particularly in maintaining the basic haircut line. However, weaknesses were observed in the symmetry between the left and right sides of the hair, suggesting the need for repeated practice and intensive guidance. Observations also highlighted that mastery of technical aspects such as cutting angles, body posture, and hairpulling direction is crucial in determining the quality of the haircut. Mastering graduation techniques not only enhances students’ technical skills but also prepares them to meet the demands of the salon industry, where clients expect neat, symmetrical, and trendy haircuts. Therefore, repeated practice, periodic evaluation, and the use of supplementary learning media are essential strategies to improve students’ competence. Based on the findings, it is recommended that students continue practicing, develop the ability to adapt graduation techniques to different hair characteristics, and understand client needs to compete professionally in the salon industry.
