u1001800: November 2011

With the second part of the garment deconstrucrtion project we used our taliored men's jacket and 'Made a dresss for a chair'.

Here we pinned the pieces of our garments together to make the 'Chair dress'.

After making the chair dress, we took it off and worked with it on the mannequin making different structures.

Here are a few of my favourite strcutures.

We then had to use a different groups jacket and again come up with different structures.

Here I am working with the different groups jacket on the chair making another 'Chair dress'.

Here are a few of my favourite structures.

For this project we had to deconstruct and re-construct a men's tailored jacket.

I then unpicked the men's tailored jacket, taking it apart.

After unpicking I started to work with the lining on the mannequin...

...After working with the lining of the men's tailored jacket, I started to incorporate the outer shell of the jacket.

I then just worked with the outer shell of the jacket.

I really like this piece, especially the pinched section low the right breast.

Front view

Here I made a skirt out of the shell of the jacket; I like the way I have gathered the material. I looks like a tulip skirt.

So that I could work with the jacket flat, i unpicked the stitching along the back and arms so that it would flatten.

This is a garment i came up with using the flatten tailored jacket.

I really liked this piece because of the detailing at the front, and the way I have made the tail with the lining of the jacket.
