More Graphic Design

A few months back, I found this funky fabric at Fabric Warehouse. It had this interesting mirrored print made up of graphic shapes. 


Seeing how complex the shapes were, I brought it to the dressmaker with the brief that the dress should be kept simple. That way, the complex nature of the print can be balanced out. That said, we agreed to follow the pattern of the fabric and work the silhouette around it. And here's how it came out:


It's a super nifty maxi dress!

Not only was she able to follow the pattern on a horizontal scale, she was also able to take the edging of the fabric and incorporate it as a border. Now, it's on the off-shoulder part, and the hem.

That's the beauty of graphic fabrics. It can turn a simple silhouette in to something spectacular.
