garment two

Here is some curtain fabric we chose to create an outfit from to send down the runway.

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.  

This is the first garment we chose, we were instantly attracted to the pattern on the garment it really stands out. When we first looked at it we did picture it as a playsuit with a brown belt around the middle or even a shirt dress with a belt. However, we wanted to find a way of using this creatively not just sticking on.

These are my design development sheets, i expermented which different styles that fit in with the garden party theme. For example the floaty dresses with floral patterns and shorts with tied tops. I just tried different ways of using the fabric we were given, such as using a garment backwards or upside down rather than just using a top as a top.

This is my trend board of the theme ' Garden Party'

The patterns included on this car are so relevent to the garden party theme.
