OUTFIT # 3

ORIGINAL TRADE SKETCHES

This is one outfit i was always quite confident on achievng my exact first design, however after basing my colour scheme on the tartan chiffon i was to find while in Hong Kong, my colour pallette was open for change. It was mostly the colour of the chiffon vest that ended up being much different than originaly planned. but i think it successfully stands out a little more.

SNEAK PEAK AT THE FINISHED PRODUCT...

The bodice dress was quite straight forward and was just a matter of pinching out a little areas to create a perfect fit! The twisted detail at down the front panel however, was very time consuming and had to be finished before the dress could actually be put together. The dress actually looks amazing on its own, it is almost a shame to cover any of it with the vest... Although I LOVE the was the Sequinned Sleeve Chiffon Vest turned out.

The drape of the vest was achieved through adding largeright angle extentions to the pattern and then an added exagerated panel in the centre back. It was quite fun to play with. The sleeves however were a little more complicated and it took me quite a few toilles to get them perfect. The sequinned fabric being so thick meant i broke soooooooooo many needles!

TOILLE IMAGES

After the patterns below is the toille I experimented with. I was quite impressed with how the front extention of the dress so easily created the drape front i was aiming to achieve. There were not to many issues with this dress, with the exception of playing around with the back cowl to get it sitting at a dramatic, yet appropriate position.

FINISHED NECKPIECE DETAIL

This detail on the neckpiece of this dress is a technique in which will feature in a number of pieces throughout my range. I have also created a belt following the same concept, in which will feature on my first outfit the Tartan Chiffon, Sequin Bodice Dress.

The process of achieving this was quite time-consuming but very worth it. I purchased large square metres of vinyl in multiple colours. I then backed two colours onto each other using spray adhesive contact, then sliced into 1cm strips and mounted them onto the base (neck, belt, centre front panel... (in next outfit)) twisting them in uniform during the process.

My final Colour and Fabric Palette for this Outfit:

After finding the chiffon tartan in Hong Kong, i fell in love with the colours, however it was very difficult to find a base colour to take from the fabric and use for the bodice. I accidently had these two fabrics sitting on top of each other and was so happy with how they looked. Problem solved and i was even more excited with how this dress would turn out!





After patterns and playing around with the design: The Toille I was happy with:


Although i must admit i made very few changes to my original pattern. This outfit was quite straight forward and there were not any tough decisions or changes to make... Due to having a photo shoot with the TAFE Photography students, i had to get this outfit finished as soon as possible. We were on a tight deadline to have images submitted and the shooting date was fast approaching...
