Mac in a bag (Y)

The picture is a little blurry, but these are the different colours you can get them in at TJ Hughes in lichfeild. There £4 each and exactly like all the other kagool in a bag thins we've seen. This is the cheapest i found them, dunno if you would be able to get all 26 from there though, especially not in the same colour.




These are some neckalces we found from primark, there a £1 each. We though we could perhaps use them to costomise the garments.










This is an alternative we found to the kagool, as they we £6 in priamrk and our budget doesn't cover that. We thought they looked pretty good and would be eay to work with, there £5 each and they have them in grey or black and in a range of sizes.







These are the childrens kagool in a bag from primark. There £ each but there was only like 3 of them and probally wounldn't fit anyone anyway as there pretty small.





Range of colours of the kagools in primark, including leopard print in yeallow and pink =





The small sized kagool in primark. £6









More colours availible of the kagools in primark. Including pocca dots.


The large size kagool in primark. £6

I should be asleep






















For this project, i first thought that i wanted to look at the style of the flappers girls from the 1920's and design a dress inspired by that, AFter i researched this and tried to design from it realised i did not find perticually inspiring. The dresses i designed were simple and boring. So i went back in my sketchbook to see if there was anything else that appealed to me. I had looked a little bit of draping form the 1930's and this looked quite intresting so i researched it further, and also looked at modern day draping. I found this a lot easier to design from, and also did some designing on the stand which i find alot easier then drawing my designs on a figure.




I used the stand to dreat style lines and traced them to creat my pattern and slashed the pattern so i then could pleat the peices, as i looked at pleating in my sketchbook. I also looked at the headdresses of the flappers girls, this was the only thing that really intrested me about them, with the the beading and sequins, so i wanted to incorperate this into my dress, so in the middle pannel it's going to have beading getting more and more sparse as the pannel gets bigger.

















































The pattern i created to go on my dress was inspired by a peice of art deco fabric which had circles all over it Slotted together in an intresting way. So from the pictures i had taken at RAF cosford, i found all the round shaped objects sucah as wheel and bolts and traced them off and slotted them together on another pice of paper. I then blocke in some of the area's to make it more intresting, and then played around with the sizing. In art deco the shapes tend to be and bold but my print worked better small. I decided to print the purple of the colour scheme on to the blue, i also tried black as this was my first thought to print in but the it looked to harsh.
