Extra samples from FMP

These are a few more samples that I did for my FMP, I experimented with different techniques to see which one would be the best for my final design. One of the techniques I tried was tie dye, I enjoyed this technique, and I liked the way the final product came out. With tie dye you can experiment more with how you wrap the string around the fabric to create different effects and different patterns.



To create this effect pinch parts of the fabric and tie around with string quite tight. Leave in the tie for only 2 minutes, rinse, unravel string and leave to dry. You can iron out the fabric afterwards, but I like the way it looks without ironing it, goes with the pattern.


With this tie dye, twist fabric and tie with string at both ends then tie the fabric in a knot.

For my final product I think I will use this technique on the base of my dress, I will dye the base orange , continuing with my Phoenix theme, and add red and yellow extras to the dress. 

Below are samples that I tried out for my garment,I used red silky material, then I tried different decorative materials, such as black feathers, gold jewels, yellow feathers ect.







For my final garment I decided to use the yellow feather boa, red fluffy material and the gold squares for decoration on the front of the dress and on the train at the back.
