Manchester Art Gallery

On Tuesday I went to Manchester art gallery, here I saw many pieces of artwork and many related to my work. I saw many pieces of art that were inspired by religion and a lot were similar to Michelangelo and Raphael.
These pieces of art were all in an old fashioned, watercolor style painting. I really liked this because it related to my research and also what I want to create for my final piece. I also saw some artwork that looked to be inspired by a vintage type of fashion and also what I would love to create for my final piece. The colours in this piece also fit the colour scheme I am doing and it was also painted in a oil pastel, watercolor type way which is what i like.

Since I am doing a tassel dress for my final piece I decided to look on online shopping websites and find some dresses that look similar to the style I am going for. First I looked at Pretty Little Thing and found this. I really like this dress because it layers the tassels which is something that I want to do, however the fit of the dress at the top isn't the same style that I am going for. Also I will change up the colour since I am not going for black. I then found this dress on boohoo and although this is black I really liked the way the top half of the dress looked and shape of the straps, this is a more similar way in which I am intending my dress to go. I like this one more because it follows the shape in which I am going for. I also like how the tassels are layered and this is which I am also aiming for in my work.

feedback

My target audience for this dress is young adults so I asked my sister, aged 19, for feedback on my dress. These are the questions I asked her: How do you feel about the colour pallet of my dress? ( Rate out of 10) "I like the colour of the dress as it matches with the underlay which makes it stand out" 10/10 How do you feel about the style of my dress (1920's flapper) (Rate out of 10) "The style of the dress is really eye catching as it is embellished and has tassels which makes it stand out also" 10/10 How do you feel about the surface pattern on my dress?  (Rate out of 10) "I feel like the surface pattern could of blended into the style of the dress as orange doesn't complement these colours" 6/10 Give an overall rating of the dress out of 10 (why do you give it this?) Overall I give the dress a rating of 9 because I love the way you can style it into a top by wearing it with jeans/pants and it is really eye catching.
