Description:
Fitted structured dress with a long train. EL wire is used to outline the silhouette and emphasizing two different style lines as well as illuminate inserts from underneath. There will be two different style lines that will be illuminated at different times. This dress is meant to be seen in a fashion show or installation atmosphere
Inspiration:
Fast and Furious cars are my main inspiration. The sleek lines of the car are mimicked in the outlining of the style lines and the silhouette. Fast and Furious cars are illuminated from underneath, which will be mimicked in the inserts.
Plan:
-Pattern
-Sew dress
-Couch EL wire onto dress on both inside and outside. (there will be a lining)
-Power it through battery pack under train in back of the dress
-Program EL wire with the arduino to turn different style lines on and off.
–There will be two different sets of style lines
Back up Plan:
If all else fails, I will only illuminate one set of style lines.
