Top - Masculine

For the masculine part, I chose a dark colour since most men clothing are in dark colours. I chose to place the black and white lines at the edge in a diagonal, because it would make it look more interesting rather than having it go horizontally or vertically.  So it gives it a simple yet interesting design.

I did the top into a tube top because it was the easiest to do and the simplest to do rather than having to create straps for the dress. 

Skirt - Pattern

Pattern

1st Pattern:

2nd Pattern:

Choice:

The pattern I chose was the 2nd one because it goes from dark to light which transitions from the dark colour of the top. 

The first pattern seemed so messy and uncoordinated which is why I didn't choose it. 

Skirt - Design

For the skirt, I added flowers made from the leftover plastic. I decided to make flowers because it's the easiest to do and flowers are a usual print for feminine clothing.

I used double sided tape because it's easier to use.

Then I scrunched it up in the middle to make my flower.

I then cut it to forma circle because leaving it square doesn't make it look like a flower.

I then stick double sided tape on the skirt and stick the flower onto it.

Skirt - Feminine

I sewed all these pieces together to form a skirt. I pleaded the skirt to make it look more like a skirt. If I didn't put pleads on the skirt it would look stiff and straight. I did it from the darkest to lightest colours to transition from the top that's made out of a dark colour. 

Create

I chose plastic as media because using a newspaper would be too dull to represent the 'feminine' part of the dress since it's black and white. And newspapers easy to break, so it will be hard to work with. Also, it's difficult to find something to piece the newspapers together. If you use tape and you make a mistake on putting the tape then it will be hard to take off because the newspaper will be ripped off. And tape will be very visible on the skirt and it won't look good to look at.

I chose to use plastic as my media for my skirt but instead of having bags draping, forming a bubble dress. I decided to cut up the plastic to make it easier to work with because using full bags limits you from making different forms.

To piece the cut up plastic together, I will sew them to each other to keep a stronger bond that will keep the skirt from falling apart. Instead of using tape that will act as glue because tape isn't as strong to keep it together and it will not look pleasant seeing tape stuck onto the plastics.

To sew the plastic together, I'm gonna take two pieces of cut up plastic then put packaging tape on the side to keep the two plastics temporarily together and to keep them straight. I chose packaging tape because it's easier to remove from the plastic. If I use masking tape, the plastic will stick onto the tape and when you remove the tape, the plastic will be ripped. Then, I will sew the plastic together, just like how you would sew normal fabric.
