Plastic Success

When I designed the shoulder silhouette for my final design, I didn't have a clue how I was going to achieve it, all I knew was I wanted it! After avoiding this situation by leaving it until last, I knew the time had come... After structuring the shoulder section by experimenting with medium weight interfacing I knew I had a challenge on my hands. I tried using buckram, which was better but still it looked limp. Although it held its shape, it didn't hold the position that I wanted. I wanted sharp, high and big! So it was suggested that I look at sheets of plastic. After cutting round my original paper pattern I unpicked the centre seam on the shoulder structure and slotted the pieces in. The result was exactly what I was looking for.. A MIRACLE.
