Dress Flats

Comments:
1) Hem area is too small and it would be too tight
2) Zipper seam needs to go all the way down
3) How do you achieve such a shape of the dress after the waist?
4) No armhole.


Dress Flats after Correction


Weekly Observations
Off Shoulder Suit Jacket and 'Stirrup' Pants
(Extracted from Lookbook: 'Starley-Call On Me(Ryan Riback Remix)/maffashion' by Juliett K.)

The way the white suit was so oversized and slit at the shoulder, and how the pants extended to hold the arch of the feet, was both very interesting and innovative to me. It redefines career wear with a tint of quirkiness.

Silhouettes {A Silhouette is a solid black outline of an ensemble, used to describe the shape of a person's body or the shape created by wearing garments of a particular style/period.} Silhouettes over the eras (Source:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP_n7sQs9zge_0t91wNAcB87KdOykXWqVnKwRY_1KyY1s-IDATqdeNEmb9Ff95e1xo0aDb2xFAmkRQKj2yZeT_pXavjTMgjrpdLIqYQkZnfFxfgj4kLYCU7S1WgD0t5jCCcBt7ZQjhruBS/s1600/costumedesignill00trapiala_0107+1a.jpg) Apart from the fabric of the garment, the corset plays the biggest part in shaping silhouettes in the past, as it shapes the body; And in the corset, boning plays the most essential part in shaping the body. 1900s Edwardian era Silhouette : Hourglass; S-bend The S-bend and hourglass silhouette is a result of the S-bend (straight front) corset, which is a corset with a straight cut from the bust to the hips, causing the shoulders and bust(monobossom) to be thrust forward and the bum pushed back. ...

Week 10: Technical Flats Review

Technical Flats Practice Body-hugging jacket and baggy pants Technical Flats Oversized Blouse and Hi-Lo Dress Technical Flats Sweater Hi-Lo Reverse Top and Mermaid Skirt Technical Flats Weekly Observations Asymmetrical One-shoulder red dress (Extracted from Lookbook: 'Tim Berg-Seek Bromance (Jerome Price mix) maffashion' by Juliett K.) I REALLY LOVE this one shoulder with ruffles look and the oriental covered knot button detail that goes down center front. This would have looked really amazing if it was extended to become a long dress as well. Oriental Ruffle Dress with Train Technical Flats This dress was inspired by the previous dress.

The opening will be slanted towards the hem of the dress as well, which would be cut on bias. Burberry Coat with Ruffled Collar (Ta...

Week 12: Final Preparation & Formative Feedback

Last Preparation for Presentation  Embroidery Motifs on Designs We finalized these as the embroidery we are going to use on our designs. Just like our inspiration, the Matroyshka dolls, rich colours are used. Primary, Secondary colours and colours used on embroidery As observed from the Pantone website, these are the colour we have finalized for our vibrant and youthful collection. Linen Denim Flannel Lastly, we have also finalized our main fabric to be linen, denim and flannel. This is because linen is the most suited fabric for the dense embroidery we will be doing, whereas denim and flannel are great materials to help stay warm ,especially since we are designing an Autumn/Winter collection.
