Task:
We took inspiration from Jum Nakao and Alexandra Zaharova for both or our paper designs. We decided that for design 1 we would make a layered skirt. We measured how much paper we needed and then began to wrap it around the manikin. While we did this we thought of the idea to put wire around the bottom of each layer to give it more structure. To do that we folded part of the paper over and secured it with masking tape then fed the wire through it. We secured everything with masking tape because we found it was a lot easier and stronger than using pins. When the skirt was finished we decided to turn our design into a backless dress. So we cut out two triangles about the same size and folded them individually to create a look that resembled a fan, like in the pictures we found for our inspiration. We then taped the front of the dress together and cut on of the shoulders to give it an edgier look.

For our second dress we measured how much paper we needed so that it would fit around the manikin. Then we cut it out and taped it together. For this design we decided to have one of the sleeves have a cut out from the shoulder to the elbow. We the added two triangular cut outs to the shoulders and then made four paper fortune tellers to stick on top because we liked the shape of them and how it looked similar to one of our inspiration pictures.
