The students of 6th level their number was 8 were directed to produce a collection of scarves and outer garments for women made of natural and synthetic silk fabrics as one piece designs and executed using the direct drawing method on silk in order to provide unique aesthetics to guide the behaviour of student from a consumer to producer, to contribute to the development of practical and realistic solutions to create job opportunities for students after graduating. The research aims to display the aesthetics of the direct drawing on silk and the possibility of producing women's scarves and outer garments suitable for one piece designs with the possibility of opening new horizons towards the experimentation for the students of the Department of Fashion Design and Textile Technology at Al-Baha University to contribute to the provision of utilitarian ideas useful to small projects serve the society, The research is based on the descriptive approach of the theoretical framework and the experimental approach of the applied framework. The problem of research is the rareness of scientific researches in the one-piece designs of clothes and scarves of women, which carried out with the style of direct drawing on silk with study and analysis.
