Some Toiles of the ribcage in paper before moving into the aluminum. in hindsight i probably should have done i toile in a galvanised iron because its cheaper than aluminum but i ended up just fixing the ribcage instead of making a totally new one.
I like the drape of the ribcage in the paper, i incorperated this into my design development but i felt it was too obvious as a design for the collection, i wanted the collection to be quite minimal and subtle in the way it was informed by research, my work tends to end up like that...
Initial ribcage ideas and how this would sit on the body:
My proportions ended up being quite accurate and sat on the body a lot like this drawing!
Some earlier research into materials - i initially wanted to use this pleated material with dissolvable outerlayer which dissolved into the polyester and created and held a form such as this below....


3rd toile of the basic ribcage block:
The georgette compliments the drape well
I have relocated the drawstring to the hem and centre back seams for the final which pulls the garment up to a nice silhouette on the body rather than using the drawstring through the centrefront.
