'THE LIVING JELLYFISH' IS A GOWN INSPIRED BY JELLYFISHES. I WANTED TO EXPRESS THE BEAUTY OF THE CREATURES IN THE SEA AND INCORPORATE MATERIALS AND FABRICS THAT CAN MIMIC A JELLYFISH FOR EXAMPLE ORGANZA FABRIC AS WELL AS TRIMS TO REPRESENT THE TENTACLES OF THE JELLYFISH AND ADDING PEARL EMBELLISHMENTS TO COMPLETE THE MARINE LIFE LOOK. IN THIS ASSIGNMENT I LEARNT HOW TO DRAPE AND SEW UP A BUSTIER OF A GOWN SO THAT IT FITS NICELY TO THE BODY. I WAS ABLE TO EXPLORE AND DESIGN MY KIND OF STYLE AND TAKE ON A GOWN.
