Pinning panels of
the deconstructed shirt and jacket together on a table first proved
effective; I stitched the shirt sleeve’s curved edge to one of the jacket’s
straight edges and this gave an outlined three-dimensional shape on the
mannequin. It fell from the shoulder quite comfortably so this is where I
positioned it; however on reflection I feel that having a large amount of
material at the waist is not very flattering.
The arched effect of the
collar on the hem is successful and contrasts with the angles on the rest of
the hem. I also like the turned-up part of the hem as it features an iconic
part of the jacket, just in an alternative way. The downfall of this is that
the panel does not look deconstructed enough and still resembles the jacket. If
I were to make this again I would have simply used the folded detail for the
hem as opposed to the entire jacket piece. The shoulder structure would have
worked better if it were moulded around an armhole, too.
