Design Competition
Author: Carrie Felter (University of Central Oklahoma)
The purpose of this garment was to create a modernized version of an ancient Chinese skirt, similar to the photo of a 1928 skirt from which I was first inspired. The moment I saw this exquisite skirt, I envisioned one in gold and blue-colors which represent happiness/prosperity and femininity in Chinese culture. The basic design consists of two identical sections constructed with a main decorated panel, an 11-count pleat assembly, and an underpanel, which are joined at the waist by frog closures.
