Flock, Foil and Florals





Today we started work on the rose print dress- soon to be a cropped jacket. After chopping off the excess fabric we decided on a placement print for the chest area, inspired by our research.



Because we only have one of each garment there is no room for error and so we sampled various techniques, colour options and printing methods before going ahead with the final print.


We played around with different colours of flock, foil and various binders before deciding on navy flock for the main print, with an olive gold foil highlight.



We've discovered ourselves continually adjusting our plans as we see the final garment developing; as important as it's been to make plans for the garments it's been just as important to be willing to make changes along the way according to what is going to look best/ what is possible.
