Choosing My Final Designs

After placing all my research from the 19th Century into my workbook I decided to look though all the research and select a small selection of different designs to show to my tutour today. 

Here are some images of the dresses that where potential designs:

 Ashelford, J. (2008)

 Waugh, N. (1994).

 Gibbs-Smith, C. (1969)

Taschen. (2002)

It was decided to cut half of the dresses from Waugh, N. (1994). and Gibbs-Smith, C. (1969) as well as two designs that are featured later in this blog. The Waugh, N. (1994) dress featured on this post would be created to a very high standard and detail such as the lace would be represented by lazer cutting calico into a decorative design.
