My topic is <History of sheer materials, specifically lace and chiffon> . I chose a basic top pattern, because I thought the curvy shape would be good to show the femininity, which is the vital aspect of my topic. After putting some alterations in design with drawings, I decided to alter the garment by making a hole in the side part. I will make a hole, shaped like my motif from pattern collection book, which is based on the shape and pattern of lace. Also, it is about sheer material, but since I cannot make it transparent, I decided to create a negative space by cutting a hole. By that, I am able to see both the garment and the body, which is a feature of sheer materials. I will also sew the strings of muslin pieces, attached to the hole and the garment.
I think the most beautiful thing about sheer materials is that they show the skin and the garment together. The skin is not showed directly, which creates the feeling of a subtle gorgeousness. In my garment, I wanted to create that feeling, also showing the skin and garment together. Therefore I chose to make a hole, and cover the hole slightly with pieces of muslin strings.
I found an article of Elie Saab fashion show spring 2014 by style.com. It was made out of beautiful clothes in lace. Every piece in the collection had lace in it, and it was transformed mostly into dresses. It had various colors, but was really well connected as a collection because of the same transparent material, lace. So I also wanted to emphasize the texture, atmosphere it creates, and the opaque attractiveness.
