Overall I am very pleased with our garment and I feel that Lily, Chelsea and I got on very well and collaborated excellently as well as learning new skills from each other. I found collaborating my designs with other designers a very worthwhile exercised as it is something I have never done before; it opens up your mind to alternative solutions and methods of designing, cutting and construction. If we were to do a professional photo shoot I think it would be interesting to play around with the transparency of the fabric. If I was to have designed this just from my concept I would have liked to have got my kaleidoscope images printed onto fine silk and replaced the chiffon with this and shone light through it and played with the twists a bit more. I would also recommend making a full scale toile before attempting the final garment instead of what we did which was to make a half scale toile as working with the amount of fabric that we did in the full scale is very different and difficult to predict, but this was part of the fun of this method.
