LADYFIT
Nike tennis skirt + LADYFIT dress elements
(florals + stripes + LADYBIRD blue)
I'm still documenting my dress pattern through symbols-inspired by a figurine of a woman from the Bronze Age, showcasing the folk elements that can be applied to today.
DRESS PATTERN
This is my LADYFIT for the day. I layered + draped these textile elements to my dress. This is an act I've been doing all week_drape textiles + objects into forms of dress. It's my way of saying goodbye to my winter black velvet dresses and an intro into the spring season. It's also a creative exercise to compose my wear with thoughts being funneled into a certain time frame to complete.
I ARMOR myself for the day, allowing it to only be for that time. Tomorrow, it's on to something else. This LADYFIT action is genuine to how I feel in the moment of dressing_the daily ritual to compose my expression by explaining things through dress. For this day, it is to futher explore my folk dress.
PILE IT ON
MATERIAL ARMOR_draping objects into forms of dress
This is a pre-look to the winter series finale on ARMOR (LADYFITS issue no.5, Goodwill of the Heartland newsletter). It is a good bye to winter and hello to spring, the process to ARMOR ourselves.
This particular garment represents the finals days of winter: black velvet of the dorment season + draping of objects as the awakening to Spring.
LADYFIT
This LADYFIT features elements from folk dress, mainly emphasizing the sleeves. I've been breaking down the shapes that make up Czech folk dress. The V- lace inset on the chest is another example of shapes taken from Czech folk dress. I owe a lot to a book by Vaclavik, referenced in previous posts on my exploration into folk elements. This LADYFIT is at the beginning stage of what is to be applied, explored and evolved into this project. It's in the winter state of dress_dorment in elaboration + color.
