Scallop Skirt Designs

To extend my ideas from my inspirational moodboard, I decided to craft some drawings of skirts and dresses using different designs within each one. I feel like this has given me a fantastic opportunity to get my ideas into paper and see what they would actually look like on a model. 

To extend these ideas, I have taken inspiration from a technique I discovered on Pinterest. A designer draws up a sketch of a model and then creates the skirt/dress with petals off a real flower. I thought this was a really creative way to show the scallop pattern as the flowers reminded me of the edging of a skirt. I decided to sketch up some designs and use the petals to create the skirt.

I feel that my sketches were successful and looked fantastic when complete and in my sketch book. I feel that this shows a more creative outlook to designing and really incorporates my theme well.
