School Work (SDSU)

This was a draping class with an emphasis in bustle era dresses. We learned the basics of draping while designing and making our own bustle era dress. 

This dress is based off of third bustle era designs. It features a lobstertail bustle, asymmetrical elements, and a shorter hem. 

One of our assignments for fabric manipulation was to create samples showing off different techniques. From left to right, top to bottom, There is shirring, beading, hand embroidery, smocking, cording, decorative closure, and quilting,

I helped the costume designer by researching garments to purchase, pulling stock, assisting in fittings, and completed piece sheets and dressing lists.
