Garment Deconstruction - Part 1...

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.

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.
