In Frank's class we finalised the design and went to Home Depot to look for materials. The main structure of the dress will be made out of mesh. To ensure that the material is suitable for the garment, we roughly wrapped the material around the mannequin and secured it in place with pins. The material is easy to shape and we were able to create the desired form. After doing so we talked about what should be changed/improved and moved onto making the actual dress.
We saw that the seams were not in place in the practice dress and payed great attention to this in our second trial. At this point our main concern is how to securely put this dress on the model.
The design of the dress continued to evolve as we kept going. We decided to have the wave-like layer in the bottom half extend to the opposite shoulder and around the neck. We also thought about doing a headpiece to complete the structure, which can be an idea for the product design stage.
