The textile item, wearable art uses a range of fabrics, significantly velvet, cotton, corduroy, chiffon, and silk to create textural contrast and visual interest to draw the eye around the garment. Within the cream-coloured centre is a quote of significance of the design. To create texture, movement and dimension, the laser-cut flowers are arranged tastefully around the path on the front panel as well as the butterflies that fly above Alice. The machine embroidered path creates line and perspective to focus Alice as the centre of the piece. The black velvet provides a rich value to the piece to accentuate the bright colours of the applique. Alice in Wonderland utilises the colours true to Carroll's interpretation of her in the blue dress that includes texture and movement in her gathered skirt. The White Rabbit includes fleecy fabric to mimic rabbit fur, as well as a textured suit jacket to reflect his dignified nature and significantly starts Alice's journey. The felt rabbit watch is significant in emphasising the ticking anxiety of the rabbit. The caterpillar on the mushrooms is constructed from fabric that has repetition of swirling lines to give the illusion of stripy caterpillar skin. The smoke rings from the hookah pipe are made from wool to give life to the design through gradating sizes of smoke ring to create movement. The castle has walls made from pin tucks to resemble grey bricks with heart motifs to represent the Queen of Hearts. The felted Cheshire Cat is a significant aesthetic feature that creates a textural and visual interest. The ice-dyed printed cotton further creates visual texture and interest to resemble natural foliage. The mad-hatter's layered coat of many colours represents his individuality and creative nature, accentuated by this bright contrast with the black velvet.
