I decided to create my own print for panels in my fitted dress. I sketched a rose design, then coloured it using photoshop. The image was then digitally printed onto cotton fabric. The design came out brighter than I had expected and did not seem to match with the dusky pink of the silk dupion I had already chosen. I decided to still use both fabrics and I am really happy with the final result. The colours in the print are tonal with the fabric, but the vibrancy of the print stands out and gives the garments a fresh, quirky look.
I digitally printed an enlarged single rose for my shirt dress. The print looked really flat against the plain background, so I used a domestic sewing machine to highlight some of the petals and the veins in the leaves.
