Recently on my art foundation course we have all been finalising our ideas and designing our final garments. I have got my prints and designs sorted (I will be showing them soon don't worry!) but have taken a while on choosing what shapes I would like. I stumbled across this collection from 2014 and I instantly fell in love and found the shapes I wanted. I was torn between a long, silky, flowy dress or a shorter, more structured dress but after looking at this collection I have settled on a shorter dress using a satin fabric which has both structure and shine (perfect for my designs!).
I hope to recreate some similar shapes within my own work as I really like the shapes and structures within this collection.
 |
| This is probably one of my favourite shapes as I love the huge pleat in the centre of the dress. I also like the higher neck and the baby-doll style with the waistline not being emphasized as much. |
 |
| This dress reminds me of co-cords, I really like how the top looks almost separate from the rest of the dress. It has multiple pleats which I really like and really interesting shapes on the sides. |
 |
| I love the riffles at the top of the dress, this is something that I hadn't considered using before so it could be a good idea to look at. I also like the two layers, it looks so simple (but very complicated to make!). |
 |
| This is a very interesting style and probably one that I won't be using, however the multi-layering and extra panels make it very unique and interesting to look at. |
 |
| I like the strapless element to this dress and like how it uses multiple prints and almost looks like a coat or cape added to it. The shapes in this dress are some of my favourites. |
I hope you like the shapes I have been looking at. I'm aware they are a bit wacky and extravagant for everyday wear but that's the look I am going for! I am going to take inspiration from these dresses and create some of my own styles and hope they turn out okay! Take a look at the others in this collection, there are some more lovely designs that i'm sure everyone can take some inspiration from.
Thankyou for reading,
Love from Georgia
