Regarding materials, my initial thoughts are:
- Using projections: that way, multiple designs could be played throughout the day and it could also play a moving image.
- Using stickers: these could be plain vinyl with cut outs which depict the pattern, or simple shapes cut out of the vinyl. They could also be of varying transparencies which will then overlap to create new colours and shapes. I could also use textured stickers which would create more depth and texture.
- Layers of a harder material, such as acrylic, could be used and overlapped. These could contain engravings to add texture. This piece would be very 3D and it allows the audience to interact with it.

‘Clearly presented work. You have worked intelligently and well at every stage of this project and consequently have produced a large body of work. Very good experimentation and you quickly personalised your response to the project. Confident and lively exploration of colour. Interesting use of the folding and pleating, in fact you have many ideas which you could have developed. You have worked on your toils and used your print in conjunction with other fabrics, so a lot of thought went into that. A lively body of work’
After designing a simple, repeat pattern, I decided that it would be better to have a more spontaneous pattern which included various size spots overlapping each other, as this best represented the kaleidoscope inspired research.
Regarding colour, we narrowed it down to the contrasting colours of blue and orange. The top I designed was going to be heavily orange whilst the woven skirt seas heavily blue with subtle hints or orange.
The fabric I used was a polyester silk-impression that was printed onto, with polyester chiffon sleeves and a polyester satin. Ideally, I would have liked to use actual silks and satins rather than polyester based ones, but due to costing, I had to use polyester.
The top fastens at the back of the neck with hook and eyes and the back of the peplum fastens with a zip.
