Maps of Dress Measurement
Final Dress Measurement
What is the best installation strategy for my project?
In order to show all my swatches nicely, I will present them on a large piece of gauze and hang the gauze on the ceiling to let it fall on to the floor, so audience can see my process of thinking through my swatches. On the other hand, I will display some crucial points on PPT, from the user research to the hand making process. A short video to will show the overall looking of the dress wearing by one of my users. At the end of the video, I will put the total amount of hours and water I had used in the project to let people know the impression that handcrafts bring to us. It is quite interesting to see how much water I had used in dyeing compare to the amount of daily drinking water, and the large amount of stitches can show how much effort included in the hand knitted dress. I like the way of illustrating my project with both 2D and 3D version. Finally, I will put the dress on a dress form as a display version.
