For me, this swimsuit had to really repesent some key things
- Annette Kellermans - strength, femininity, courage.
- Had to really realate back to the era.
It was time to discuss my final ideas for my swimsuit.
I made sure i sat my lecturer down before i explained i decided to go with my SOLID CONE idea! Althought her initial reaction wasnt exacally what i would call exrtremly over the moon with excitment.. She soon became excited about the idea and couldnt wait to see what was in store!!
To be honest i wasnt sure what kind of task i had ahead of me!
But I WAS SO EXCITED to get started!!
I began to pattern make and was suprised how simple it was... which SCARED ME! Its never as easy as it seems!! Let me tell you that!!
I decided to test out the proportions of the suit before i started sizing up comes and thinking about quilting!!
I used cardboard, shapewel,wadding and fusing.
At the begining i thought it might be a NICE idea to put quilting... in well... a fair few places BUT my teacher then informed me that quilting WILL NOT allow the suit to stretch!!
So it was time to think about ways to include the quilting without narrowing my stretch options right down... NOT SO SIMPLE!!
In true ROYAL STYLE... the DRAMA BEGINS!!
