Making Look 1 -
For this dress I designed the dress to be of a basic shape and have applied fabrics to create elements of 3 dimensional sculptures coming from the main dress to create an illusion.
For this dress I used a lingerie block which I adapted to my design by making the dress length shorter and cascading into a slight 'V' in the dress back, and having the zip fastening in the side seam and hidden with the applied attachments.
The main dress has been constructed using fuchsia duchess satin with a polyester lining, because the dress attachments will be quite heavy and the dress is very small with no sleeves or straps I needed the dress to be quite supported, and decided to include a hidden corset within the bodice.
