To show more of a diverse range of skills, I wanted to create my own design for the dress fabric. At first I wasn’t sure if that going to be achieved through ice-dying or digital design, so I experimented with both. I ended up not liking the ice-dye samples, so went on to experiment with my drawing tablet. I knew I wanted the fabric to display roses and be of a green colour to match the jacket, so I just ran with that!
The fabric bought was from contrado, a delicate silk.
