The art of Batik and Qalamkar printing is one of the most authentic traditional arts of Iran, which is classified as a handicraft with its diverse motifs. In this regard, the aim of the present study is to introduce, classify, and compare the types of motifs used in the two aforementioned arts and to utilize these valuable motifs in the design of women's clothing; in order to preserve the originality of the motifs and revive them in modern works. The necessity of this study arises from the fact that no previous study has been conducted with the approach of classifying and comparing the motifs of the two aforementioned prints so that they can be used by Iranian artists and creative clothing designers. The present article addresses the following questions: What are the most prominent motifs of atik and Qalamkar printing in Iran? What are the similarities and differences between their motifs? And how can the art of printing and their motifs be utilized with a modern approach to design Iranian women's clothing collections? The present study is an applied research using a library-field method and data collection is based on direct observation of works in printing workshops. The results obtained from the study showed that the motifs used in the aforementioned prints are very diverse and include: plant, plant-animal, animal, human, abstract and geometric motifs. Plant motifs in these two precious arts have received much attention from artists, so that they include many motifs; therefore, the prominent motifs in both arts are also plant motifs. The aforementioned decorative arrays, due to their diversity and variety, have high potential for use in the design of Iranian women's clothing.
