Garment one

This was the first idea we tried with this garment. We put it on back to front so the button up detail was turned into a V detail down the back, we also cut off the collar. Because of this the back looked really effective. However, the front was quite plain and boring. We then decided some fabric manipulation was needed so we gathered and scrunched up the top where the collar was which created this effect across the shoulders. We did like this but still agreed the dress was pretty plain, but after trying several other ways of fabric manipulation nothing lay right so we decided against using this garment to go down the run way and looked at our next option.
