For the final design, the colour scheme was extremely specific and only specific shades of colours were used when creating and arranging the garment.

DSC_0011_6Plastic modules were hand cut individually and arranged according to size and types of cuts used (slanted slits, even slits (on each module)). During arrangement of colours , pattern and design of the garment was slowly experimented on and evolving.

Plastic foam fruit protectors were used to support the areas of the dress below the waist (due to the weight, modules above the waistline had a difficult time retaining it’s shape and strength).
