The collar for the Grey Blouse actually consists out of three regular collars mounted on top of each other, each going less narrow than the underlying one in order to create the propper cone effect.

The Arch Down Skirt
Developed simultaneously with the Architecturewear project, this secondary line item came together from combining originally rejected ideas into a refined individual piece, acceding to the project’s aspects whilst oposing it’s emanations.
As a study of flow and weight distribution, this skirt takes two forms of the same fabric, one heavy, the other light and supple, and couples them in a downwards arc, starting from an open triangular-cut piece in the front, cummulating in a firm trailing back-panel.
This post-drawn sketch shows the Arch Down Skirt’s composition with it’s optional stringing meant to hold the piece in a continuous fluctuation.
Finished Version: The Arch Down Skirt
Textile Base
The textile base for the Red Shirt is a lightweight fabric construction of a well-fitting coupe on which I can conveniently draw the shirt’s design-lines using a marker to precisely locate all the seam points on my body.
Sleeve Pattern
The sleeve pattern for the Gray Blouse turned out to be one of my most interesting conceptions so far, having five, circularly lengthened, vertical darts worked into the head, providing girth along the otherwise straight-cut sleeve, and a number of folds at the base capturing that girth into the cuff, with the extra addition of an inverted box-pleat within the seam-line, to bring out even more flow towards the back of the sleeve, guided outwards with one last, horizontal, dart worked into the elbow side.
The Red Shirt
The red shirt, my long pending design, matured into a lucid art-nouveau piece featuring elegantly intersecting lines tailoring the garment. To be fashioned in lightweight fluent silk, its crimson pieces are thoughtfully drawn as to not overstretch the delicate material, consigning all forces to the strengthened shoulder-plates and the detachable breast-plate.
Used to fasten the vestment and adhere as its focal point the front panel’s upper layer quality is emphasized with outwardly folding excess coverings, held in place by intricate silver buttoning, also enclosing the optional curved belt, initiating mid-waist in order to culminating tracing the hip-line, covering the shirt’s segmenting frontal splits.
It’s graceful sleeves flowing in Flemish pleats, approximating the White Shirt‘s in complexity, yet attaininga contrarily demeanor, exhibiting silhouette-lines emerging from cuspated top pleats traversing into long pointed ruffles, bound by removable cuffs.
Having only just concluded this design , while quite confident about its feasibility, it pertains subjective to change, that is, if I will be able to finish it this year.
