Female Design - Costume Development

Well today I have managed to make a lot of progress on my costume, as you can see the garment is taking shape. I found drafting the cape really helpful as afterwards I have been able to adapt the shape on the stand, cutting the length etc.

What has really been the exciting part is the textiles!!

I have totally loved getting back into this again. I feel really back in my element again playing around with textures, colour and machine embroidery.

It has been really experimental, however the effects seem to really work, using the net, plastics, barnacles, fusible film and other mixed media elements. As a practitioner I have found experimentation and playing around with fabrics and textures really helps bring out your creativity, especially with a project like this.
