Thinking back to creative approaches to fashion!!!

Today I have been thinking back to the work that was handed in last week and im getting slightly nervous awaiting my result because on reflection i think
" oh i should have done that, i should have done this differently, and maybe that would have worked better if i would have done this...."
But i guess this is all part of learning and developing your ideas which will benefit my projects in the future.

At the time i felt as though i had worked hard to combine both of my research areas in order to make the final garment. My chosen areas was to choose Caroline Broadhead as one area and then the phrase "Cut out and Keep." From these two areas i developed the idea of cutting out basic floral shapes and layering them to create decoration on to my fabric, which links with cut out and keep, i then was inspired by the work of Caroline Broadheads Sharp Lines work, which made me come up with the idea of pleats which i also used on my garment.

It is interesting what can be made when given the task of only using three shirts to create a garment.... but its also amazing with some of the ideas that different people come up with.

It is now time to start the task set for my upcoming project. I plan to start things off tomorrow by going into leeds to take photos that are relevant to the areas we have been given which will includes looking at :
-Darts
-Zips
-Puffed Sleeves
-Flared Sleeves
-Flared skirts/dresses.

Hopefully i should be pretty successful with this, lets hope anyways :)
