Pattern cutting- 12


My finished shirt dress before I took the cheese greater and bleach to it! Also I haven't added the buttons yet.

FEATURES 






As Im interest in looking at the whole deconstruction/construction and distress concept I decided I would bring that through into this dress design. I have used hessian as a thread to put through belt loops I have placed in irregular places with plastic buckles to add an industrial and edgy feel. Also with the hessian thread I decided to add a cross square (the stitching) to each end of it as it gives it stronger support, this is a shape that you most commonly found on luggage bags! This also links to having the buckles as they are used in luggage as well. Im happy with the over look for the garment an how its coming together but just Im not sure on how the waist belt is placed on the dress (see on photos above) but I think I'm going to keep it then on the shoot and when styling I can play about with it. Ill keep you up to date!!!
