Geometrical Print Outcome

The final outcome for the Skills for Making brief was two garment fronts. I abandoned the idea of using screen print as it wasn't working for me much. It was too time consuming for me personally and it was awkward to then construct a pattern from the motifs on the screen as they would all have to be perfectly aligned. My garment fronts ended up being digitally printed to reflect my Photoshop abilities. I then hand embroidered onto one of the designs using a thick yarn. The downfall of digital printing is the cost. Especially since I chose to print on silk.

Here is my first front.

First garment front.

It is styled as a dress with fairly thick straps, a box pleat, a gathered waist and a hand embroidered hem. Although this is styled as a dress I also think it could work as a playsuit.

Hand embroidered running stitch.

My second front is more simple. It is strapless with a gathered waist. I didn't include embroidery in this one because it worked well with out it due to the simple styling.
