The 27 lines dress in sports mode.
The 27 lines dress in sports mode.
The Clebsch cubic surface.
I made this dress for my 27-themed 27th birthday party. It is inspired by the 27 lines on the Clebsch cubic surface.
This is how the dress came to be:
I sketched the idea I had and sent it to my sister who is a designer and pattern maker (https://weftdigital.co.nz/).
My sister drafted a digital sewing pattern based on the sketch and our discussion. She had the brilliant idea to add zippers to the sleeves to make it easier to dance in.
I made a tiny toile of the dress to help me figure out where to put the lines.
I printed off the pattern, cut out the pieces, and sewed the dress.
I painted on the lines with fabric paint.

The toile (it is about 12cm tall)
Halfway through painting the lines. This part took a lot longer than I expected.
Finished product!
