Expanding the dresses into patterns

From feedback after a group presentation, it was suggested that as well as making the dresses from newspapers, I should look at making patterns so that the dresses were easy to copy and easily adapted into post-apocalyptic life.  As people have no money, they would not be able to buy the garments, but instead this would enable them to make their own disposable clothing.

Making the garments look eye catching and fashionable was one challenge, but making them look amazing and yet simple enough to write (and follow) instructions was another!

I did simple illustrations for what I thought was the most effective dress.  I printed them onto tissue paper, similar to a dress pattern, and made a packet to contain them - printed on newspaper.  I also incorporated the pattern paper and packaging into a bag to complete the outfit!
