KELLY BROOK’S DRESS, YES, NO, MAYBE SO?



What do we think of Kelly Brook’s dress? We know that feathers are immense for this autumn/winter trend, but do we think that Kelly Brook has taken it a bit far with this dress at a party in London?

               Student protest against tuition fees


A student protest against rising tuition fees turned violent with demonstrators forcing their way into a building and smashing windows as they approached Parliament. A group barged into the lobby of Tory headquarters at Millbank before being forced out by police and security officers. They then began setting fire to placards outside the entrance. Windows in the office block were smashed and a number of smoke bombs thrown.

FORMATIVE ASSESEMENT
SO MUCH WORK SO LITTLE TIME

Toile Number 2

I started of with this shell of the dress firstly, but what I had in mind it wasn’t working with this fabric so I had to change it.

So I changed the material from calico to mesh, so that I could see the beauty of what it is I was trying to do.

From my development of my research I thought that I could be playful with this dress, by adding pieces of sculpture on to the dress. So I got one of the sculptures was from research and enlarged the picture and parts of the picture. Then I cut them out in calico. I didn’t like the result I got from it, by using the bigger pieces, so I decided to stick to the smaller pieces.

Back View
I will be developing this toile by covering the whole dress or laying pieces. In these photos the sculpture pieces are pinned on but for the final or development of the dress the pieces with be tacked together. 

Toile Number 1

This is my first toile, I had to make a dress firstly then draw on lines where I wanted the panels to be.



This was the next stage of the dress, where the panels where cut up then seam allowance were added to it. Then it was sew back up together, BUT….. as you can see it has gone wrong because I didn’t add notches to the pattern.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR NOTCHES IN IF NOT YOU WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
