As part of my brief I needed to include surface textile techniques which we learnt throughout the project in my final garments. I decided to use Devore on cream velvet for my dress.
Devore is a process that can be used only on fabrics with synthetic and natural fibers. I applied the image on to the velvet using a silkscreen and devore paste, I then put the fabric in the heat press, which eats away at the natural fibers leaving only the synthetic. Here is a sample of the fabric that I used on my final piece…
Alongside my dress, I'm making a chiffon cape. I have decided to use Gold foil printing. The image is applied the same way using a silkscreen and foil adhesive paste. The foil is placed on top of the fabric and put in the heat press, then the foil is peeled away leaving the gold where the adhesive was.

Love your background too, and the way you've written your 'about me' piece - really sums up your style well. Would like to see pictures of your design, you've written about the processes you're using so would be nice to see how you're using them.
ReplyDeleteI like how you have given your reader almost a 'sneak peak' with your samples of the fabrics for your final garment without giving away too much.

ReplyDeleteThis blog is very you, love it!!
I think your background is very appropriate, it really sets the vintage, pretty and classic look. I think the style suits your garment very well. I really like your devore samples and how you have introduced them. What you have done is a nice introduction to your garment design.
ReplyDeleteThe vintage theme you are going for is set off right away by the lovely background. I really like you have given samples of your devore, it gives the reader an virtual insight as to what your garment offers. I love the little description down the right hand side saying how great your line would be to wear, this will intrigue readers! Love this site.
ReplyDeleteI Like the background a lot! It really goes with the vintage theme.
ReplyDeleteI like the info about your clothing company down the side as well. It's good to sell yourself right from the start I reckon :) Amelia xx
Really like your print on your garment and your style, it reminds me of the 1920's, 1930's kind of atmosphere, very elegant and feminine and a very classical look. Your blog and garment is very representative of you.
