Flow

Patternworks International Best Solution to a Patternmaking Problem, 2003

Dominican University, River Forest, IL

Flow was designed with the intention that dress should compliment, not exaggerate, the natural female form. It connects with nature, not the artificial. In nature, as in the female silhouette, there are few angles. As they flow around the body, the bias lines accentuate existing curves. The color of the garment suggests natural elements such as copper, bronze, and gold. Flow is made of satin-back crepe which allows for subtle contrast of shades, lines, and texture.

Key Words: satin-back crepe • evening gown • bias
