Knitting - Project I did in September inspired by the first photo. I used a Loopy Mango pattern and yarn for this sweater. My first of many knitting projects and the start of my love for knitting.

Final Presentation - Look 3, the gown of the collection. Created a dress with the English smocking technique, spacing the boubles along the length of the dress. Underneath is a shirt to have a more casual look with a digital pattern printed on the shirt. For the accessories, there is The Bridesmaids Crown and The Primary heels (in red).

Final Presentation - Designs which we’re not featured in the final looks.

Final Presentation - English Smocking, creteing my own version of the classic technique. Used tool to give a fancy look with the bouble ties for a nostalgic feel. Favourite use of materially because it scrunched around the body nicely.

Final Presentation - The Quilted Coat, a fancy coat to layer on top of the garments. Can be used as a materiallity throughout different pieces of clothing (for example the pants). The differ lines are all the different primary colours.

Final Presentation - The Bucket Hat, twist on straw hats usually seen at weddings. The bucket hats are a more youthful look in the collection. Made out of different colours of satin which can vary in combinations, with a ribbon to tie around the neck.

Final Presentation - The Pleated Purse, inspired by coin purses that Nanas and Grandmas hold. Used one of my materialitys (the pleats) to connect with the garment designs. The structure/clasp of the purse is inspired by the bridesmaid crowns featured in my parents wedding.

Final Presentation - The Primary Heels, inspired by my mother’s wedding shoes but added a buckle and strap to give a more school girl look. Can vary the combinations of primary colours. Buckle is the shape of a school crescent and matches with the embroidered crescent at the base of the heel.

Final Prensentation - The Wellies, shoe design included in my collection. I wanted to create a more childish nostalgic feel to the posh garments so I added these boots. Could mix different variations of the primary colours and a scarf can be wrapped around the handle for a fancier touch.
