THIS SHIRT WAS MY FIRST ASSIGNMENT AT F.I.T IN 2013. WE WERE ASKED TO CONSTRUCT A CREATIVE SHIRT USING THE SKILLS WE HAD LEARNT OVER THE FIRST SEMESTER. I FELT THAT MAKING A GARMENT OUT OF PLEATS AND GEOMETRIC SHAPES COULD BE QUITE INTERESTING IF MADE ALL IN ONE COLOUR.

​

THE SHIRT CONSISTS OF A DOUBLE BANDED COLLAR, TRIANGULAR AND CIRCULAR SHAPES, COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF PLEATS AND OVER A HUNDRED PATTERN PIECES. I LEARNT VERY QUICKLY THAT THE CHOICE OF MATERIALS USED IN A GARMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS WHEN DESIGNING. IN THIS ASSIGNMENT THE FABRIC PROVED TO BE THICKER THAN DESIRED, CAUSING A LITTLE PUCKERING, HOWVER, IT IS A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF MY SKILLS AT THE TIME.
