SR17740 354 Report post Posted November 17, 2019 So, I'm in year 12 and I have to create a major work for my textiles subject, because of how much DST I've been playing, I was heavily inspired by Charlie when making the design. Heres the design! It's very messily coloured right now but when I complete my full design I'll post it here. I'm going to be using this thread to document my progress, so yeah- hope you guys like it! 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomas Die 902 Report post Posted November 17, 2019 i'm a brit so yr 11 is max, but to actually talk art, i like the design but isn't it or wouldn't it be hard to create the flaps near the end as it kinda denies gravity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But! I've thought of this, I'm actually in the process of creating custom frames for them! Heres a prototype The final one will be metal so will hold its shape. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minespatch 96105 Report post Posted November 18, 2019 Good luck with finishing the project. I'm still trying to make my divining rod in reality but this should be a simpler task for you since it's a outfit. The design has a oriental flair to it but has the touch similar to Charlie. Good luck bud! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SR17740 354 Report post Posted December 16, 2019 UPDATE! A concept idea of what the insides of the coattails will be! These panels here are what I'm referring too! Also, speaking of coattails, I ran into a major issue regarding the curls, the steel spring boning I bought for this, (which cost around $100 (AUD), aka not bloody cheap! D':) is too flimsy to hold the shape! YAY! So it seems I'm going to have to make a frame out of metal rods welded together, which is going to be very heavy and cause a lot of stress and strain to the fabric so that's fun! I'll update you if I find a workaround. Also ran out of fabric for the skirt which was from Singapore so I can't just go and buy more! (Sewing is fun I swear), luckily I found a solution but I'm not thrilled about this. Hopefully, my next update won't be all bad news. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SR17740 354 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 Final Design fully coloured! The lace around the skirt was moved up to form a "tube" around the body, (please ignore my phone's quality- and my sub-par modelling but kinda like this) 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SR17740 354 Report post Posted March 7, 2020 I haven't updated here in a while oh boy- It's still happening don't worry, just not a lot of exciting things. But a somewhat major redesign?? I redesigned these panels, instead of this swirl pattern, I've decided to pull some inspiration from a cultural group that we've been studying, the Hmong people. They embellish their garments and textile art with intricate embroidery symbols. Recently, I finally completed the Metheus puzzles and the symbols used by the ancient civilization reminded me somewhat of the symbols the Hmong people use. So I'm replacing this swirl design with various symbols from the ancient civilization, I don't have the new design to show you yet but it's in the works so look out for it! In other news, almost completed the skirt! Yay! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
