Silouette Searching

From the 1st toile..

I found that I need the shoulder pads! 

in order to support the shape of power shoulder.

So....

 I bought the really thick cotton shoulder pads

 from Tessuti in Surryhills.

I got 2 pairs to do some experiments with them.

These are the photos I played with the pads.

This side looks very interesting in terms of layering

them to get really high shoulder shape.

I might need to stitch them all together to get

them fixed..

Need some really hot steam Ironing ...

yeah~

The front pleats on the bust area

are meant to be twisted to get the wavy look.

and

the front hem line is also meant to be curved like that.

Side view..

I think I need to work on more at waist and hip area 

to shape more like balloon.

And that's the back view.

Silhoutte fitting_1

From the first draping class,

I found this cocoon shape for my coat.

AND..

This is the photo of 1st fitting on the stand.

I break the panel line on the side of the bust to get it more shaped and curved,

and joined with front block.

Finally, I join the sleeve with body of the coat.

It will attach this on the position where the pleats start.

Black marker line is the final seam line will be.

draping the silhouette

As my concept for my collection is to break up, analyze and re-assembled in an abstract form

and use multiple viewpoints to represent the shape, I firstly moved normal sleeve

position to bust area.

I was made three dimensional space between the sleeve and bodice, cutting

the pattern into slice...

This is the back view of the new sleeve design.

This is the other coat draping design, which has the panel line

on the front and has the small pleats on the front neck area.

I was also meant to have the big standing collar like the photo above.

I personally want to make Cocoon shape for my coat and to do this, I need

to develop more from the basic body line and discover which line has to be drawn to

get it ballooned.

Above all, The nature creates the most beautiful colours...
