Abstract
This article delves into the complex world of designing women's Latin dance costumes, highlighting the paramount importance of harmonizing current fashion trends with the essential requirements of comfort, flexibility, and the need to emphasize the dancer's graceful movements. The objective of this study was to create few models of Latin dance costumes. To forecast how the users and viewers would perceive Latin dance outfits, an on-line survey was conducted. A regression model was applied to analyze how color and shape interact in the creation of Latin dance costumes. The article focuses on key aspects of costume design, covering an in-depth study of silhouettes and colors and their perception by viewers. Designers are encouraged to focus their creative efforts on prioritizing the comfort and freedom of movement of the dancers, adapting to ever-evolving societal and cultural changes, and exploring innovative solutions to overcome the challenges and limitations inherent in costume creation. The regression model can be used to predict with enough accuracy users' and viewers' opinions on the use of Latin dance costumes. Embracing these results, designers are ready to produce remarkable, comfortable clothing patterns that authentically capture the splendor and diversity of Latin dance culture.
