These are my samples of which I have taken sections of my illustrations and decided to sample them. I have used techniques such as gathering pleats, embelishment, bows. Then I have cut out haltered necks and saches as I may use these towards my final garment. The haltered necks and gathering that I have decided to include in my samples have been taken from my artists work; John Galliano. John Galliono's Circus Collection includes gathered neck pieces which I wanted to use the gathering technique in my work. I also took the haltered neck from my research from my moodbaord on my blazer.  I think I needed  to do some more refined samples using fabrics that are appropriate to my colour pallette. In my opinion I really like my samples they link to my moodboard such as the bow also the neck piece I created was taken from my harlequin research.

 

 

The haltered neck on my blazer I had taken from my moodboard to create the sample, also the skirt on the harlequin image that has the zig-zag piece on top I created in a a sample as a neck piece.
