2010 HSC Major Textiles project
It is a dress-coat inspired by the Japanese kimono and a western style trench coat. The coat is designed for special events like a fashion show or award ceremonies. Since this coat is usually worn at night and these types of ceremonies only require a small amount of lighting, the materials used for the coat must be able to attract some light so that the coat is noticeable and appealing. The coat constructed in blue purple patterned polyester features a tightly fitted bodice with a low neckline edged with a permanently pleated green nylon symmetrically flared collar. The calf length skirt features five fully lined overlapping layers, cut on a circle to fit snugly at the waist and hips and flare at the hem. The edge of each layer is defined my gold piping. To further emphasise the asymmetry and versatility of the garment, there is a single, large rectangular sleeve, corded with gold at the lower edge which can be detached when not required. The focal point of the coat is the embroidered dragon at the waist, and encircled obi-like sash.
