'Celebrating Curves'

Here are my two final dress designs for my theme celebrating curves, looking at my two designs I will be using quiet a variety of different fabrics. I have drawn the front and back of the garment and before I start being to make my dress I will need to problem solve for e.g.

What is the best material to use?

How much material will I need?

Is there aspects of the dress I am going to need to change?

And will I have enough time to complete my final garment?

Here are a few images I have selected that have helped inspire me...

Looking at modern day fashions inspired me I love the new shapes that are coming in this season.. this dress goes perfectly with my theme the way the pleats fold but fit very tightly to the dress showing off the woman's waistline.

I love the idea of the netting hiding the bust line but in a away this almost enhances it to the eye.

Cleopatra inspired me to create layers to my garment and looking through a range of the theatre costume's the colours used are very similar to my colour pallet.

This Gilbert and George painting inspired me to play with the neck lines on garments. This can make a big impact on the overall outcome. In my final design I have a very low cut back- line to my dress again going with my theme ' Celebrating Curves'
