As you have seen in my previous pages, I have learnt elements of design, diaper patterns and also worked upon 2 dimensional geometric motifs withhelp of lines and shapes which were made with protector and compassmanually and also on corel and photoshop. And by using lines and shapesI made 3 dimensional forms which creates th silhouette of the dress. I also created pleats with the use of lines and shapes. Without knowing design basics I was not able to make my creation.In the Identity Exhibition 2017, which is students work exhibition and was held on 9th and 10th November wherein a lot of jury members came to seeour collection and a lot of students from various schools came to hear us which helped us to build our confidence.You will see my working in subsequent pages.

INTRODUCTION

Pleats are basically folds in fabric that are formed by folding fabric onto itself. It is commonly used in clothing to gather a wide piece of fabric to a narrower circumference. In industries these sort of foldings are done by pleaters( a machine which is an easy way to make pleats). I have made various pleats by hand using method like plait, gather, dart or wrinkle and many other specific terms which are use to relate manipulation of fabric. This is a very classic way of designing which not only gives the attire a sophisticated and appealing look but also carries flow and movement which makes the dress stylish, yet comfortable for the wearer. Many famous A designers have found their inspiration in this craft such as Issey Miyake who has made his creations with the name Pleats Please.

The aesthetic design is derived from experiments with folded paper.After making all the foldings, I have chosen these two foldings for my dress.

First I have made foldings on paper so that I was able to identify the estimation of the fabric and look of the dress.
