I did some line-ups from each of our collages, then worked into them using crochet that we did. I also lined some parts because it makes it easier to see what the fabric is doing and what it looks like through the layers.

I added colour to match the garments below to the research above, I liked the colours on the garments, and the patterns, I drew one of the flowers seen on the woman in red and blue, and through that and the design on her bottoms we decided to expand from that and add it onto our garment.

When we were draping on the stand we used the fabric to drape over me, as I stretched and put my arms in different positions to see what the fabric would look like, I liked how some of them turned out. I also tried to match what the skirts looked like in one of the pictures along with one of the drapes. I wanted to over-enthasize the shapes that the draping made when we cut strips into the jersey by cutting out parts to create contrast.

Using 'Red Shoes' what Agnieszka researched in, I looked at the red and white of the ballet shoes and crocheted a ribbon like the one similar to ones on ballet shoes.

I did multiple different collages and looked at the way the jersey was cut to fit around the neckline, and then tried matching the garment with Agnieszka's colour chart.
When I first started to research I looked straight into Chinese Silk Dancing, all different types of the dances, using some of the photo's with good colours, I used pictures from when we draped on the stand to create complex draped garments with colours that matched the pictures. I really liked the colours I put together.

When we were working with Interactive Arts, we were asked to make a garment that made movement more difficult or emphasize it, so when we looked around we saw people use tights to stuff with paper, and that gave us the idea of legs, and then it ended up becoming false legs to make it look like the wearer is sitting like someone who is meditating. We used our legs to make casts with paper and masking tape then stuffed and moulded them into crossing legs.
