Easter Week

This week is the first week of easter and so far i have spent every day in uni. I am slowly but surely making progress. I decided i really need to go ahead with the pleating. I had started to do some more designer research and came across things i loved and i felt where who i am and what i love and looking at different techniques i can use and add in along side my work i already have that would give it that romantic feel. I showed alison an old Sonia Rykiel collecion im in Love with but she wasn't to impressed she said it was frilly nonesense :). I can see where she is coming from but looking at it for me it had elements of frivolity and romance and was so feminine you just get caught up in it and thats what i want my collection to be. Not here collection but the feelings it evoked in me! So i contacted a guy called Chillo i know a few other people have used and he was great he said he does sunray pleating no problem and there was no size limit. I just had to cut out my half circles as many as i need pleating and meet him at Hollings campus and by the end of the next day i had them back. So i got some of my linen done my white cotton and my Poly chiffon. The poly chiffon took it best having man made qualities and i love it. I am going to get on it and make a garment from it tomorow. Its so soft and sheer but the pleating gives it movement and detail.
