Garment Design

For my final design I wasn't quite sure what approach I wanted to use in relation to the different techniques we had used. I initially thought mutton cloth and paper, but my though began to change and I thought I would incorporate the military jacket with the mutton cloth. Above is an image of the front of my garment and the back piece drying of the chair.

Below are images of my first chair attempt with the mutton cloth. I enjoyed using this technique as their was no knowing what the outcome would be.

Here I have began to experiment with a paper design for my garment, however as I started to think about the durable structure of my garment I thought paper would not be a safe option

 

Front of my garment.

I came across a building which really reminded me of the structure of my dress, additionally I found the achritechture very inspirational.

My second chair design with mutton cloth.

Here I am beginning to incorporate the Military Jacket within my design by attaching the deconstructed jacket to the mutton cloth.

I love the texture here of the cloth, the way in which the fabric has stiffened has given the jacket a very unique appearance.

Here I am experimenting with the back of the garment and seeing what position would work best.

I am now gradually bringing the garment together, my main focus now is to concentrate on the back of the dress and to ensure the garment fits my model comfortably.

I used my friend to get an idea how the garment would look, however I feel the dress appears unflattering. I need to work on bringing the dress in at the waist.
