For my final Major Project I created a dress based on five of my favourite flowers and ones that had a lot of sentimental meaning and value to me, I took time researching microscopic and patterns of the flowers and looked into todays floral fashion and concentrated too on the 1950's. I wanted a bright contrasting continuous pattern that ran throughout the dress and wanted something also that was unique to todays floral fashion of mainly bright roses. So this was my final outcome and the display I put on for my exhibition which I was very proud of and felt it presented the role 1950's played in my project and how my ideas and designs came to create my final item. I decided also to present some of my Textiles samples in frames to make them presentable and neat and also it made the detail and the pattern stand out more to the viewer. If I could of done anything different with this project it would of been for the bottom half panel of the dress for the print to of been of a bigger context because I feel this would of therefore been a more advantage for my time scale and it would of made the dress less busy and defining of detail but once the bottom panel was connected to the top the flow of detail flowed into each panel and actually made the dress look quite interesting and unique to the minor detail that is applied to todays floral summer dresses. I enjoyed making my first dress garment thoroughly and felt it learn me a lot and helped me towards future opportunities as to what I would do different and I'm glad I decided to do something different and challenge myself in comparison with making a Patchwork quilt last year, so I very much enjoyed making my dress.
