Black and white
I started with a very outdated knit wool skirt I
found at hospice shop, and I felt it could be made into a more up market piece,
that would be fun to wear. I turned it
upside down and cut eight strips down to half way, ironed on fusing, and placed
wire under fusing,
I also added elastic to the waist. By sewing the strips along the bottom, painting
liquid stiffener to help keep its shape, and bending the wire gave it a funky
look. The strips now stand out from the
body permanently.
The shaping of the shirts took a lot of thinking
about, one problem was the shape across the shoulders of each shirt, I threw
out idea of adding a zip to front and instead joined them with a slight gather
and shape across top. I then used adding the sleeves as ties.
