Pleated Workshop
I chose to create a wearable structure using the skills i learnt in the pleating workshop.
First i made a plain panelled strapless dress and also inserted a zip to make it easier to get into. and i made this to use as a base of my dress to make it easier to shape round a body shape.
After that i cut different sizes of the black cotton fabric.
And i started to create free style pleats.
Then i started playing around with the pleats on the base of the dress.
I tucked the top and bottom of the pleats to keep them more secure, for when i place it on the dress.
I used black thread so it wouldnt show and make the garment much neater.
I combined all types of pleats i learnt from the work shop and created my own.
Creating my final garment was fun i got to experiment with pleats and create new pleats and i got to show my creativity.
I used some of my research on other designers for inspiration.
