Coast Live Project : Final Jumpsuit-First Toile-Preparation for the Coast Presentation






                                               Final Jumpsuit -First Toile

           After a couple of brainstorms and dead ends I have come to a result that satisfies me. My Final Jumpsuit design is voluminous , soft and easy to wear. It's shape is draping enough to support a big print and the side ruffles give it an element of sophistication . The design of the jumpsuit is meant to give the wearer an elegant look no matter the surroundings. It can be worn for a wedding on the beach , a nice night out in Rome after a full day of sight viewing  or on a summer day at any kind of party . The jumpsuit is designed with the Coast Customer in mind and it is guaranteed to turn heads. 
 



Further refinement is required for the toile. Finishing and Fastenings still need to be figured out.
My team mates loved my designs , the only problem that they raised with it is that requires a lot of fabric.Given that we share all the expenses my team mates recommended I should reduce the fabric consumption if possible. 
The exoense of the fabric is something that needs to be discussed , the fact that the entire jumpsuit is mde out of printed fabric means its going to be quite an exoenise piece to found.
On the other side I am very happy my jumpsuit it is going to be ready in time for the Coast Presentation next week.

Coast Live Project : Toile development - From Modaris to Calico


As I have said in a previous post , I really liked the direction my first toile development ideas were going so i wanted to print the patterns and make them out of calico.
I have intentionally added extra material to my patterns so i have enough for draping.
Playing around with ruffles and ties I have come to the conclusion that I want to add a fascination element to  my jumpsuit .  Rows of Ruffles or ties , gathers , everything except bows !
