This degree work explores the features of a dress through two-dimensional imagery. It uses trompe l’oeil techniques to inves- tigate and highlight the qualities of the garment. This proposes new ways to use trompe l’oeil designs and new ways to draw inspiration from an existing garment.
The dress has been studied visually; through looking at it, tracing its shape and through drawing and painting it. The shape of the dress has been studied and developed through pattern construction.
