This is the 2nd outfit that I plan to make for my collection, and I just wanted to explain a little bit about the process of turning this idea on paper into a fully realised set of garments.
First, I look at each of the garments and work out which I will flat pattern make and which I will drape. The back of the jacket, for example, is definitely something to drape, while the pants will be made flat around the top section, then draped around the leg. I will then piece these elements together until the shape of the final garment emerges, and from there think about details like seam finishes and fastenings. It usually takes me 5 or 6 mock-ups until I start getting something working, and through this process my initial ideas inevitably change as I work with the fabric and understand what it can and cannot do.
