Deconstruction/Reconstruction - WEEK 2

This week i was able to understand how the deconstructed garments would fit together as a garment. The stand work i did was beneficial because i found it hard to see how different parts of a garment create a totally new piece of clothing. For example, the neckhole of a jumper (if wide enough) could become a skirt that fits over the hips.

During this week i also found it difficult to draw design ideas because i did not know how they would end up if they were made. I think in the future, i will make sure that there is a substantial amount of stand work to understand how fabrics drape and adapt to the body. This will help when designing roughs, plus this means that the difference between my development and the stand will not alter as much, because i have a better understanding of fabric.

When it came to making the final piece, I found it easy. There was no need to machine sew the garment, because the previous garments held most of their shape.
There was a lack of development, therefore if i was to move the project forward, i would ensure i have a prominent muse to adapt the designs to.
