I have finished my final garment from my diagnostic stage on Descent. I have really enjoyed making the garment and problem solving it so that it fits with my final design. I love problem solving such as fitting the barbed wirer on to the mannequin and how to attach it onto the garment. Also how to create the volume with the Organza to fit with the shaping of the barbed wirer so that it still keeps with my theme of war. The problem solving made me feel more connected and involved with my theme. To be able to problem solve I would need to research more into my theme of war and test different silhouettes and shapes out which lead me to look into deeper ideas and areas of my research that I hadn’t yet thought about. My tutor said I could have developed more with my designs by really exhausting them and my research further, trying out different shapes for my garment so that I can really explore different options for my final outcome. Also looking into using different materials, more than just a couple. Really explore the wide variety of fabrics and how I can develop them further.
