Today I put forward the the origami cape I produced a few weeks ago in the group crit.
In the group critiques I was advise to change the colours because pallet reminded some of the group of Halloween. They advised I change the black to white or a softer colour to give a softer effect that would still represent and adhere to the Japanese theme.
A comment was also made about the two contrasting ways the fabric fell; the flow of the cape compared to the structured folding piece on the back. The thoughts from the group was that the contrasting combination of the drape of the fabric didn't work.
The group proposed that the folds in the cape were more subtle and more flattering to the body then the bolder crisp lines in the folded fabric.
The class expressed my own realisation of the fabric choice saying for the folded element of the experimental garment was too thick and a lighter weight fabric would have worked better.
As I carry on my development I think I will use the advise for creating folds in softer way by the drape of fabric rather then the structured approach and change the black for a more feminine colour.
