2000 Proceedings Cincinnati, OH Cincinnati, OH USA 2000 Proceedings DOGWOOD IN GREEN AND GOLD Tammy Abbey Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA 98926 The purpose in creating this piece is to design an elegant garment through the combination of two very different techniques, metalsmithing and sewing. This design was inspired by extensive study in both metalworking and sewing and by blooming dogwood. The garment can be described as a dark green, fully lined dress in a polyester crepe satin. It is designed with princess lines and a gold charmeuse godet in the back. The dress is strapless and supported by the metal "lace." The "lace" is formed with brass blossoms and leaves that wrap the shoulders and overlap the front and the back of the dress. Brass blossoms also accent the godet. Construction began with an original pattern which was hand drafted. A muslin test garment was sewn, fitted and used to adjust the pattern. The main body of the dress was sewn and an invisible zipper was installed. A godet was sewn into the back. A polyester lining was sewn and then added to the dress. After the body of the dress was completed, the metal work began. Blossoms and leaves were cut from sheet brass. Then each was individually chased (hand shaped with the use of hammers and tools.) The pieces were given a copper patina (coloring) and brass brushed to a matte golden color. A dress form was used to assemble a base web of brass chain onto which the blossoms were sewn into place with thread and wire. Two blossoms and chain were added in the back to accent the godet and to contain it. The back snap was hidden beneath a brass flower.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ITAA Proceedings, #57 – www.itaaonline.org Cincinnati, OH USA 2000 Proceedings THE PRESENT IS A MIRROR OF THE PAST Soojeong Bae Chonnam National University, Kwangju-city, South Korea 500-757 This ensemble is women’s clothes designed after the image of the 19th-century men’s tailcoat. I tried to make this work balanced between East and West and between women’s and men’s, taking the image of a 19th-century men’s tail coat on the one hand and using the texture of oriental fabric, on the other. The clothes are made up of a corset, pants, and a jacket and are designed and sewed not by using lining but by having a fabric be shown on both sides simultaneously. Generally, oriental fabric is more gorgeous on the inner side than on the outer side. By showing the image presented on both sides, I want to have the resulting effect more pronounced and varied. In view of construction, the pants were made after the modern pants; the corset was made in a traditional technique with the modern touch of an irregular hemline. The jacket was made by draping, using no lining, and was finished neatly in a bias taping from the edge of the collar to the hemline. While making the corset, I had to overcome the difficulty of fitting by having a model try on the corset repeated times during the fitting process.

The design problem was to create an anti-smoking dress. An assemblage process was used to make a bold statement against smoking. Cigarette wrappers and boxes were stitched together to create fabric for the fitted mini-skirt. Cigarettes were dyed and distressed, then treated with acrylic for stability. The cigarettes were then assembled into a necklace and a peplum. A triangle top completes the bold visual statement in red, blue, and metallic Page 1 of 1 © 2000, International Textile and Apparel Association, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ITAA Proceedings, #57 – www.itaaonline.org Cincinnati, OH USA 2000 Proceedings TEA BAG Jen Ballan University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583 This garment, "Tea Bag" Dress, is one in a series of garments created for an advanced apparel design class. The purpose for the collection was a visual commentary on healthy life-styles. This gown is a statement about relaxation with herbal tea. The structure of the garment is designed to emulate a giant tea bag made of muslin and gauze. The garment is dyed and decorated with tea bags. Red random embroidery stitches serve to emphasize elements of the garment. The garment is built as a gallery piece with an unconstructed, organic appearance meant to suggest casualness and relaxation. Page 1 of 1 © 2000, International Textile and Apparel Association, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ITAA Proceedings, #57 – www.itaaonline.org Cincinnati, OH USA 2000 Proceedings ROYAL JEWELS Mel Barger University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583 Royal Jewels is a bold color statement that was designed after completing a trend analysis to predict colors and styles for the 21st century. The garment plays on geometrics while revealing and concealing various parts of the body. Vibrant sun colors with the contrast of royal purple banding create a complex configuration reminiscent of Gianni Versace’s strap dresses. The open gown was designed using the flat pattern method, allowing the bodice and skirt to be joined at the center front and center back. Controlling balance and proportion were visual problems that were integral to the composition. The utilization of sheer fabrics contributed color variations to the visual forms, giving a contemporary look. Page 1 of 1 © 2000, International Textile and Apparel Association, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ITAA Proceedings, #57 – www.itaaonline.org Cincinnati, OH USA 2000 Proceedings Antonplant Kimono J. R. Campbell Iowa State University, Ames, IA "Antonplant Kimono" is the first in a series of garments that the artist is developing in which the surfaces of the fabrics have been digitally printed using the Encad 1500 TX wide format digital textile printer. The goal for this piece was to create a striking image that would be photographic in nature and would be engineered to match exactly across the seams of the garment. The standard kimono form was chosen as a starting point, not only for its historical relevance as a form of dress that has been the "canvas" for a number of complex and innovative compositions, but also because the straight vertical nature of the pattern pieces seemed to be an excellent match for a first attempt at digitizing a pattern and then filling it at full scale with the print. The fabric used was a slightly translucent polyester georgette, so when viewed in certain lighting, the viewer can see through the garment to the matching image on the back side. Each pattern piece was developed and printed individually and then assembled. The "antonplant" image was developed and manipulated with the intention of creating a connecting vine somewhat like a mobius strip or a celtic knot. It was then placed into each pattern pieces individually and maneuvered to match up to the joining image on the adjacent pattern pieces. This process was all done through the use of Adobe Photoshop. Due to immense file sizes, the artwork was developed on the computer at half-scale and then printed at 200%. Page 1 of 1 © 2000, International Textile and Apparel Association, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ITAA Proceedings, #57 – www.itaaonline.org Cincinnati, OH USA 2000 Proceedings BRIDGE J. R. Campbell and Jean Parsons Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 The purpose of this project was to explore a collaborative process using both two and three- dimensional approaches to creative design and to investigate the application of new digital printing technologies in the design of a jacket. The approach to this project was to integrate the innovative form of the jacket with the digitally manipulated surface imagery. The collaboration provided a means to explore the intersection of two design problems and their potential for multiple points of departure. Both artists approached the project with specific goals related to their own discipline. These goals were (1) to create a short jacket style through manipulation of geometric fabric shapes on a dress form. This semi-fitted jacket would employ sharp intersecting angles and minimal use of darts. Garment size and shape would allow it to be worn by a variety of size and body types. The primary design concept was to develop structural seams with strong emphasis on diagonal line, (2) to use digital printing technology to manipulate the printed design by changing or distorting the scale of the imagery to match the directional lines on the garment pieces. The print designs were inspired by the construction lines used in the garment. They were directly manipulated on the computer from digital photographs taken of an early 20th-century steel and wood plank bridge. The pattern pieces with imagery attached were printed directly to a lightweight wool tricotine. The shapes were then cut and sewn together to create the final garment.

Campbell Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 "Two Venuses" was an exploration in developing layered imagery through the use of digital technologies. Merged photographs of the female human body, a draped fabric and a second person wearing a long dress were super-imposed to create a visual tension/confusion in which the viewer is unsure at whether they are looking at one woman or two.

  • Glossary of Sewing Terms
    Glossary of Sewing Terms Judith Christensen Professional Patternmaker ClothingPatterns101 Why Do You Need to Know Sewing Terms? There are quite a few sewing terms that you’ll need to know to be able to properly follow pattern instructions. If you’ve been sewing for a long time, you’ll probably know many of these terms – or at least, you know the technique, but might not know what it’s called. You’ll run across terms like “shirring”, “ease”, and “blousing”, and will need to be able to identify center front and the right side of the fabric. This brief glossary of sewing terms is designed to help you navigate your pattern, whether it’s one you purchased at a fabric store or downloaded from an online designer. You’ll find links within the glossary to “how-to” videos or more information at ClothingPatterns101.com Don’t worry – there’s no homework and no test! Just keep this glossary handy for reference when you need it! 2 A – Appliqué – A method of surface decoration made by cutting a decorative shape from fabric and stitching it to the surface of the piece being decorated. The stitching can be by hand (blanket stitch) or machine (zigzag or a decorative stitch). Armhole – The portion of the garment through which the arm extends, or a sleeve is sewn. Armholes come in many shapes and configurations, and can be an interesting part of a design. B - Backtack or backstitch – Stitches used at the beginning and end of a seam to secure the threads. To backstitch, stitch 2 or 3 stitches forward, then 2 or 3 stitches in reverse; then proceed to stitch the seam and repeat the backstitch at the end of the seam.

The easy-care, floral fabric caught her eye when she noticed one of her favorite colors, corral. The pattern she chose proved to be more challenging than anticipated. However, once she deciphered a portion of the instructions, the difficulties slipped away. The full skirt makes for a very comfortable fit. Now she has a beautiful dress to wear to her senior 1 Brooklyn Hahn homecoming dance this fall. Strut your stuff; here comes Tamara, from Shawnee County, in her Senior prom dress. She graduated from Shawnee Heights High School this past May and is attending K-State, for Apparel and Textiles. Tamara loves the uniqueness of her dress, as she is the designer. She went dress shopping but never found a dress she loved so she took all the ideas she had and combined them into a one-of-kind dress. She has accessorized her dress with a belt that she created by hand stitching three strands of trim to a piece of ribbon. She has also paired her dress with a sparkly necklace and earrings as well as matching silver sparkly heels and a corsage made by her Grandma. Looking good Tamara! 3 Brooklyn Hahn Faith from Reno County knew that the wide ombre plaid she choose for this dress would need a limited amount of seems to get everything to match so she combined 2 different patterns to get the look she wanted. She used one pattern to create the bodice and a second pattern for the skirt.

    Class of 2017 …Tips for Senior Portrait Days … Senior Portrait Day is a reminder that twelve years of academic work and the high school experience is coming to a close. Often in the rush “just to get finished” with a task, we do not give the moment its proper due. Good portraits of any kind require the photographer and the subject to work together to achieve the desired look. With all the advancements in digital photography today along with the touch- up software available, the ability to create a good portrait is now greatly enhanced. Technology alone, however, can never replace the human subject and thus, it is important to be prepared for your senior portrait day to ensure good results. Come prepared with a good attitude and ENJOY the process. Do not let minor stresses and concerns spoil the day. A relaxed, happy demeanor comes through in a photo and embracing and enjoying the process will aid in helping you look your best.

  • Exploring Queer Expressions in Mens Underwear Through Post Internet Aesthetic As Vaporwave
    Mens underwear :Exploring queer expressions in mens underwear through post internet aesthetic as Vaporwave. Master in fashion design Mario Eurenius 2018.6.09. 1. Abstract This work explores norms of dress design by the use of post internet aesthetics in mens underwear. The exploration of underwear is based on methods formed to create a wider concept of how mens underwear could look like regarding shape, color, material and details. Explorations of stereotypical and significant elements of underwear such as graphics and logotypes has been reworked to create a graphical identity bound to a brand. This is made to contextualize the work aiming to present new options and variety in mens underwear rather than stating examples using symbols or stereotypic elements. In the making of the examples for this work the process goes front and back from digital to physical using different media to create compositions of color, graphic designs and outlines using transfer printer, digital print, and laser cutting machine. Key words: Mens underwear, graphic, colour, norm, identity, post internet, laser cut.

    Stitches and Seam Techniques Seen on Dark Age / Medieval Garments in Various Museum Collections The following notes have been gathered while attempting to learn stitches and construction techniques in use during the Dark Ages / Medieval period. The following is in no way a complete report, but only an indication of some techniques observed on extant Dark Ages / Medieval garments. Hopefully, others who are researching “actual” garments of the period in question will also report on their findings, so that comparisons can be made and a better total understanding achieved.
