LOOK 4 - The 'BIG' dress, the final piece to my collection, this dress consists of loads of digitally printed satin organza circles applied to the entire front of the main dress and being placed ton the seam of the fish tail skirt. All the applied circles were individually starched 2-3 times for the small and medium circles and the largest circles were starched 4 times to create the firmness that I wanted in order for me to create the sculptural look.
This look consists of using all 4 of the circles blocks had designed,Circle 1 - 30cm, Circle 2 - 48cm, Circle 3 - 70cm and 110.5cm in circumference. These digitally printed circles are from 4 different prints , each print being 2metres in length and 135cm width having the print in extremely large scale. This entire dress of applied digital print circles has 10metres of print featured on this dress.
Having a one shoulder fitted dress with a fish tail skirt from just above the knee line, which has 10 layers of black net around the entire fish tail. For the main dress I have constructed this look in double-sided duchess satin in red, the dress being heavy and fitted I inserted a boned corset constructed also in the double sided duchess satin.
Half way through applying the digital circles..really love the sculptural shapes created from these

With the fish tail of this skirt, which was designed to very big and have lots of volume. With the applied digital prints, this meant that the fish tail of the dress would be weighed down with these and the 10 layers of black net, therefore I thought it was appropriate for me to then construct an underskirt with 3 row of double up and gathered stiff black net in order to help the fish tail skirt not lose its volume and be weighed down.

All circle 1,circle 2 and circle 3's have been attached to the dress now moving onto attaching the largest circles over over a metre long.
