For this week's
pattern making workshop with Robin and Eleanor we had been asked to come
up with 20 designs based on our research. This is because we are drawing closer
to the end of our research phase and need to begin designing and making a toile
for our final outcome.
Fortunately, Robin was happy with my designs so far and
picked on that he felt could provide a good starting point. From this, I headed
straight to a mannequin to try and bring this design to life. What was
prominent about the chosen design as the stacked collar and draped detail on
the front. I have decided to push this
further by introducing almost 'vertebrae-like'
repetitive folds to make a feature of the back of the garment. A design
consideration with this is how to incorporate this into a functional garment
and whether it is possible to push this further without overdoing it.
However, this early stage of
toiling has been pretty easy and enjoyable as so far I have been able to
just play around with fabric to see how far I can push my idea without having
to think too much about particulars of construction.
