STEAM KETE

 Group Members : Faye, Kristille, Qyn & KL

Our big question is “How can we make clothes without using too many materials”. This was our big question because in the future it is more likely for materials to become limited, another thing is that we may not be eligible to use fossil fuels to manufacture the clothing. Using less materials and reusing old ones can help our environment and can improve how our future is going to look.

I contributed by helping make the dress, helped by thinking of ideas, etc.

Talking about our model, us as a group decided to use a mannequin rather than a doll. This was because the mannequin seemed to be more flexible for use and is more proper for designing/putting clothes on. As for designing the mannequin, we had to change it up because of some unexpected things that came our way. Our outfit consists of materials such as scrap fabric, yarn, plastic, etc. The outfit itself looks floral, we tried going for a simple but fashionable look. On the shoulders there are ruffles and some see-through plastic made to look like fabric. The dress is long and elegant looking. Some parts of the dress look very old-fashioned but the materials are futuristic. We made a couple of extra accessories to go with the design, as an example a hat! One of our group members made this and we liked the look of it so we added it to the design. 

A couple problems we may have encountered were disagreements and design-failure, although there were problems we still managed through them and the dress turned out to be beautiful!
