For this project , we experimented different ways that sustainability can be incooperated in a lavishing evening gown with a touch of our personal styles . We used the "zero waste" approach where we incooperated all of the scrap fabrics into our garment as well as different textile manipulation techniques such as gathers and pleats to elevte the final look of our evening gown.

BUSTIER BACK
I mainly used a biege toned fabric for my entire gown and incooperated beads and ribbons into the final look as a personal touch
I handsewed each individual bead to give off a flowing effect down the bust of my bustier as well as attached pink ribbons down the center of my bustier . I also attached a golden ribbon to the asymmetrical skirt with an extra piece of fabric that i have attached to ensure zero waste
For this project , we used different explorations and textiles manipulations and incooperated them into a full dress. Some of the components i explored were puff sleeves , pleated and gathered skirt, a square neckline as well as different style lines
draping of yoke and skirt
draping of puff sleeve
draping of back style lines
draping of front dart
The front of the symmetrical dress consists of a yoke panel and two layers of pleats used as the skirt portion , while a squared neckline and puff sleeve were used for the top portion
The back of the symmetrical dress consists of a yoke panel and two layers of pleast for the skirt portion , i dentical to the front, while the top portion has a puff sleeve and style lines right at the princess seam which ultimately erases the dart from the back seam
For this project , we used knit fabric and explored different ways of draping it into a desired outcome, as well as how it can be manipulated to certain techniques like ruching and gathers.
FRONT
I used ruching as i felt that the knit was a stretchier and much lighterweight fabric which would be able to emulate the ruching better than more dense and heavier fabrics like muslin
BACK
I attempted to follow the same ruched line all the way to the back so the back and front would look more cohesive
FRONT
I tried to go for an asymmetrical look with some gathers at the side and shoulder
SIDE
The front draped piece at the bottom is much longer than the back to give off the asymmetrical look through out
BACK
Both the side and shoulder are gathered just like the front
