After picking out and selecting various collars and details I decided to take them to the mannequin and start applying them in paper form on different bits of the body. As it was only possible to do sections of the details; sleeves, collars, cuffs etc I decided to add on where I could place fastenings in the paper work afterwards. I decided to focus on the collars and detailed layered of edwardian clothing, I used brown paper as it has much more structure meaning It would hold if I put it in obscure places.
As well as this, I photocopied the paper pleat and collaged it onto some sketches, moving around the pleats in areas it could be used and adding fastenings onto my drawings. I kept the colour minimal, adding small amounts of watercolour for extra detail.
This was really useful as it brought my ideas forward, taking the details I was studying and being able to make them into something new. Through moving them around and creating new shapes and ideas on a mannequin it meant I could process how to take these and turn them into more designs. From this stage I have started doing some rough designs.
