Process of making the dress design for my Pre collection - toile.
The dress is being produced in calico and having a saddle leather harness, the dress design was of a very basic shape and having circle attachment pieces over the entire full length skirt.
The overall design has a feminine yet masculine concept, I love creating contrasting elements that would not necessarily work.
Creating fullness within the skirt with layers and layers of sheer organza and then having the masculine saddle leather harness contrasts against the light and airy fabric of the organza.
Design of toile
Attaching the first circle piece starting from the bottom and working my way up.
As the circles pieces are attached the volume of the skirt starts mounting to create the volume that I had designed.
Adding in a flat skirt piece to break up the layers of circles
Making the saddle leather harness, which was toiled before making. I used masking tape to help keep the leather panels in place as the leather was too thick to pin.
