Vancouver, British Columbia 2016 Proceedings Reminiscence of Redingote, Versatile Coatdress Mia (Mikyoung) Whang, Ph.D., Centenary University, Hackettstown, NJ Eunyoung Yang, Ph.D., Meredith College, Raleigh, NC Keywords: Sustainability, natural dyeing, redingote, Monet Measurements: Bust: 36” Waist: 28” Hip: 36” The purpose of this project was to create a versatile design for couture and designer markets that implements sustainable concepts and strategies through natural dyeing and “Design Light”. The Design Light concept suggests that the design has multiple functions, providing a versatile option which reduces the need for additional dresses. In turn, we can do more with less and leave less environmental footprints (Fletcher, 2008). In this project, the versatility was achieved with its removable sleeves. This coatdress incorporates design elements of redingote.
