No waste dress



My first foray into "no waste" pattern cutting. The designs and initial drawings were inspired by naturally occurring fractals like those found in cracked paintwork or mud. I used a rectangle of material and applied the design randomly with tie-dye, discharge printing, embellishing and embroidery. I then only made a few simple cuts into the rectangle and draped the fabric on a mannequin to finalise the design. No fabric was thrown away, just added.
