Drafting Cruella's Collar

I was really stuck with how to go about making this wonderful collar I had designed, I knew how I wanted it to look but had no clue how to make it. After talking with one of the technicians in the studio I was told to draft out my collar on the stand using card. This was very effective and allowed me to see how the collar would look and take shape, much more than drafting in calico would.
When drafting it was a case of trial and error and simply cutting into the card and adding new pieces with masking tape.




This ad hoc way of working suited me very well, I like trying something out and seeing what I can do. This also allows me to get stuck into my project without feeling the need to check everything I do every day, I've put trust in myself and my capabilities as I love working on this costume and feel like I know what I'm doing and where I am going with it.
