Advanced Apparel Flat Pattern - Spring 2022

​

I designed, patterned, and constructed a matching dress and jacket.

​

Garment Inspiration: This piece is heavily inspired by an artwork I found on Instagram by @fanny_reve_dart and the designs found in rose quartz crystals. The artwork and the crystals complement each other with color and appearance. The artwork is very elegant and flowy, similar to the marble design found in a rose quartz. However, a rose quartz can also be powerful because it is known for getting rid of anger, jealousy, and resentment, which can be a strong negative emotion. I want this piece to appear bold and confident while still being elegant.
