Cascading Irises

Author: Rosetta S. LaFleur (University of Delaware)

Abstract

Problem Statement: The problem was to design and construct an elegant cocktail dress targeted to a woman over 50 years old. The goals were (a) to create a dress from the fewest possible fabric pieces using rectangular shapes and (b) to convey a soft, romantic feeling that emphasized the nature of the fabric's hand and surface design.
