Outcomes....

I have narrowed my development down and chosen a series of Flexible garments and Rigid garments;
These are overgarments to 4 plain stretch garments(undergarments) made from different textured fabrics.

The stretch garments, made from elastic wrapped around the body, these will be sewn together to make one 'garment' that can be pulled onto the body over the undergarment. This creates pressure on the body causing imprints on the skin and psychological imprints to the wearer.

These are the simple undergarments that will be made twice (one for each type of wrap)
Each on is made from a different fabric, showing a different feeling and imprint on the skin.

These are the Rigid garments - made from plaster. These are made by wrapping the garment with paster to create these looks. Each one is set and documented on the body. The process of taking off (or cutting off) this garment becomes the most integral part. Imprints are documented from the body and fabric. This is a completely different way of wrapping compared to the above elastic garments, looking at the immediate present and how a body responds to confinement.

Fabric Selections:
Ribbed - which will be used for the leggings






This plainer transparent stretch is great because it really highlights the lines of the elastic garment well. This would be used for the long sleeve dress.



Ribbed - Not sure whether i will use this because of the lack of stretch...... but i like the imprint.




This is my favourite! It has the coolest imprint, I am going to use this for my jumpsuit....
