6. Uniforms: A uniform is one of the easiest ways to identify group members. Uniforms can provide instant recognition or create a special image for the group. Members of the police force, fire department, and military wear uniforms so that they can be recognized quickly and easily for public safety. Athletic teams wear different colors to identify their team and to tell them apart from their opponents.

Stage 4: Select and prepare the material: Prepare the garment material and since the whole garment is cut, allow enough material to cover both sides of the stand for each section. When estimating the amount needed for draped styles, bear in mind the extra fabric will be requires for the drawing up of folds from the bottom down from they top and the depth of the fold itself. The draping quality of the warp and weft grain should be the same in order to match both sides of a drape. Allow plenty of excess material beyond the outer edges of the stand and mark in the centre vertical line and the warp grain with a contrasting thread.
