Structured Fabrics

I wanted to try out different materials so experimented with numerous fabrics and backings. Some cottons and linens work really well. These are the 4 most successful. I was really pleased with the cotton organdie. It holds its shape really well but has a lovely light and airy quality. This really contrasts with the idea of structure being solid and strong as the organdie is so delicate. The collar canvas creases perfectly and it is really strong. It also resembles concrete which is a typical material when creating structures. The cotton tarlten also creased really well and because it has an open weave it will be good foe layering. The black holland linen wasn't as strong but has a shiny, reflective quality.
