how my garment was made




so to make this garment i first had to choose a design, a shape form and a pattern. my starting design was going to include a skirt but due to time i went for only a top. since its all made out of paper i had to really think of papers that are resistant and can also be, in a way, flexible. i choose newsprint for the base of the shirt because i could move it around, to tape all that newsprint together i had to get artist tape. for the fish scale area i covered first with blue paint and glue-guned all these little scales which i traced, cut and hand-dipped in paint. For the peplum part, the frilly part of the shirt, i went to go buy this special lace looking paper which i glued together with newsprint paper. i added the lit curves to add that lift. for the very top, i traced the outline with tracing paper, and cut out drawing paper with those shapes. i painted white and with my sumi ink, made little details sort of like a floral pattern.
