In conclusion to our three day workshop we produced a final garment that was based on the fashion drawing ideas we had previously come up with. My final piece was focused on the body, my initial idea was to create a whole dress, but because my process was time consuming i ended up creating a skirt. The final piece was a conclusion of all our developed ideas we had been working on throughout the week.

My idea was based on the simple inspiration of a "pencil shaving" i used brown parcel paper with a rim of red paper around the edges and folded paper to create the "pencil shaving" effect. Although the process was time consuming, i am extremely happy with the results i achieved, the narrow flattering waist band accentuates the grooves and detail of the dress and is naturally flattering to be worn, and the flared hem is similar to a skirt worn in the 50's - Poodle skirt designed by Juli Lynne Charlot...

After the design was complete we had to photograph our piece and create compositions that would emphasise the garment, because my garment is circular and made of paper i decided to organise my compositions around circular structures and paper [Library - books] The images i have taken work really well with the dress, i ensured natural lighting was available and nothing unnecessary entered the frame which would overcrowd the image, i feel that the dress has been advertised well in my photographs...
