Width of fabric gathered into deep folds to make narrow, highly elastic piece, white with bands of narrow black and white stripes.

The reason why i think these 3 designs of rhythm are successful is because it has a consistent pattern that is well balanced out and wouldn’t need anything added to make it look better. For an example the second the picture has a consistent pattern and because of that it feels complete to a person’s eye it feels as if nothing more is needed to make it complete because of the use of repetition.
