Development of dress

I have had a lot of problems with the chiffon I chose to use for my dress. It would not drape the way I hoped it would and therefore had to experiment with the draping. It draped alright on the back it was the front that was creating problems so I had to change my design on the front completely which resulted in the back changing slightly aswell.

Start of AD208

For this module I have to produce a garment, a toile, an A3 sketchbook, a costing sheet and spec drawing.
This module is a live brief set by Anh Mao.
I have already made my toile, and have been documenting the process through photographs.
Today I have started my sketchbook where I will evidence these photographs along with annotation and drawings, my sketchbook will also have a written refelction on the work I have produced.

Mood Boards

I have produced 2 mood boards that have inspired my design development. On these boards I chose the most relevant and best research from my sketchbook. I wanted to portray my colour story on these boards so used only the colours that are in my chosen colour story. I wanted my theme to come across straight away when looking at these boards, so therefore I kept it quite simple and used images that I thought would enable people to see straight away what my theme is. I have also included inspirational collections on the boards, these include Herve Ledger S/S 2011 and Albino S/S 2010. Overall I wanted to these boards to look  organic but at the same time quite sleek so hopefully I have done so.
