Pleats please!

_DSC0007 

 This is the main project I have been working on until today for University, the theme was simple: "Pleating experimental techniques" so we had to come up with a original design that included pleats. Some used textile fabrics, other used paper, I was inspired by nature and especially - this might sound strange - but the mushroom gills were the elements that caught my attention. There are so many kinds, from straight gills to the curvy ones, and I wanted to create waves and undulated shapes to create a movement. I chose a fabric that was easy enough to pleat, all I had to do was to arrange the strips on the dress - that was the fun part!
What do you think?

  4. Imi place ca nu ai extrapolat cu procedeul pe intreaga suprafata a rochiilor, facandu-le astfel foarte aborbalie.
    Tehnic vorbind, ai realizat "master-piece-uri" .
    Poate mi-ar fi placut sa fie un alt material? Desi nu cred ca ai fi putut sa aplici tehnica asta pe orice textura...
    Bravo, te felicit. Sper ca ai impresionat-o pe d-na B.
