Fully lined, linen/cotton, embellished blazer dress

Albury High School

Texas Van de Stadt


"My garment is a sleeveless linen blazer dress with a heavily embellished front section. The theme and inspiration for my Major Textiles Project is nature. I drew inspiration from vines, lifelike flowers and butterflies."

Images of Work

"The pockets are double stitched to increase durability and functionality. The use of orange coloured stitching provides an aesthetic appeal and links to the other decorative techniques used to add interset and harmony to the design."

"The embellishments on my dress include free-hand machine embroidered flowers, and beading amongst the flowers to add a life-like quality. Cords to represent the vines were hand-made and were then attached using couching techniques. The butterflies can be removed when the dress is being laundered."

Select Student Folio Pages

The pages selected for each project reflect the individual students' interpretations of the syllabus guidelines for the MTP. Each student should develop their folio according to the guidelines, relating to their own individual project. This may result in a variety of presentation styles, numbers of sketches and/or experiments.
