FINAL PROJECT: SHOPPING FOR MATERIALS
The essential part of my project is shopping for materials. For the 3D piece that I am having in my mind, I need a lot of them. ( It is a partly changed 4th 2D design)
The first part of the shopping was to go buy fabrics.
I have visited my friend's dad fabric wholesaler. I felt like in heaven. I went out with 21 meters of black fabrics.
The first fabric is viscose with linen which I will be using for the parts that will have direct contact with skin. Two other fabrics will be used for adding volume and details to the dress. For this part, I have chosen tulle with small velvet dots and luminous mesh glued to a smooth black, slippery material.
The next step is to buy all of the other materials that I am missing.
- trimming, lace, eyelets, underwire, latches, press studs, tapes, fabric glue
To buy these things I also visited the wholesaler but of tailor accessories.
I went out with everything I needed.
This is really exciting - looking forward to seeing some follow ups with process. Which are the other two fabrics that you are intending to use alongside the ones you have already?
