Melissa's Survey

1. i am melissa choi. everyone already knows me, but if you forgot, i am studying Fashion design.
2. i would like to make a 3-d piece, a dress?
3. my idea is to use napkins for most of the dress. starting with brown napkins at the bottom, it slowly fades to white. each napkin will be torn into strips- a technique for making fancy dresses in chiffon. and then underneath at the bodice will be green coming through, i'm not sure what will be the material. something small i hope that i can use in repetition( any ideas?). the concept is that it is dead (brown), and slowly turning into something beautiful (white). something new is growing out of it (green). the material itself symbolizes that beauty can be made of something thought of as trash and ordinary, something that we use everyday, insignificant that we use once and throw away.
[melissa, too, is having a hard time figurig out how to post. So Alison and Neal, you are in good company.]
