I took 2 weeks off from work December 2006 to early January. I came to school everyday and draped and sew the dresses. These are the end products.
One night my professor was reviewing final designs and said.
"Lee... I am going to name you a 'seam queen'- look at your designs, you have thousands of seams... "
Well... then I thought. O.K. I don't know if I want to be a seam queen.
I am going to make seamless dress that looks like it has many seams.
It will look as if I have drafted a complicated pattern, but it will only use one piece of fabric.
Hmmm.. is it possible?
It was a fun assignment I gave to myself.
I began draping a jean dress. I finished it with one seam inthe back.
I then drape a red wool dress. I finished it with one seam in the back.
I then draped a gold dress out of upholsery fabric. I finished it wtih one seam in the back.
I then draped a red pleated cocktail dress. I finished it with one saem in the back.
...
Once I got started I could not stop so I took two weeks off from work and draped everyday.
Here are the results of the challenge.

These dresses are wearable Art and are unique and exciting.
Each one is a surprise and makes the wearer stand out and be special!!
