Reflection- Design Ideas

After we realise that we no longer wanted to do a simple dress shape we started draping our fabric on the stand and realised that we wanted our garment to be big and over the top. We took inspiration from our draping looking at the oversized shapes and silhouettes. We change the direction of our project and decided that we wanted to create a sort of costume like what a clown would wear. We also decided that we wanted to hand produce it all and not use any digital printing. Here are some of our designs 

We have designed them to be over the top and really colourful to test our use of our colour pallet and our prints. We want to create something very unique. Although this was quite a bold and brave decision we had to work well as team to achieve what we wanted in the time scale that we had.  We decided that we were going to create trousers based on the shape of clown trousers and then an oversized shirt to sit over the top of it.
