Yesterday I officially handed in my final year costumes as part of my degree at the university of Huddersfield.
Therefore i am taking this large amount of spare time to catch up on all the projects i have completed during my four years, obviously starting from the beginning. First year was a general teaching of Construction, Design and Textiles but all these projects were kept separate. Second year was the first time that I was able to Read and break down a script (this being Gormenghast) design the costumes for a set of 10 characters, then in the final term go a head and create this costume.
The character that i made the costume for was a character called "The Thing" the script described her as a strange creature which lived outside the walls of the castle, due to the fact that i set my castle surrounded by the sea i designed her as a girl who has be brought up to live in the sea, so much so she has merged almost fish like.
This was my first design for this character, i was inspired by shapes within water and shells.
I was able to dye my fabric up, using dylons scrunching up the fabric while it dries created great
interesting water marks.
Intricate detailing on the top of the bodice.
