Abstract

The art of functional items for the home—specifically, the cotton coil hot pad—was the source of inspiration for this contemporary women's special occasion dress. The primary challenge in designing, pattern drafting, and constructing the dress was to create coils that were three-dimensional, yet followed the curves of the body. Red polyester satin was chosen as the material for the dress, and draping technique was used to begin creation of the dress's shell. The primary element of the dress are the narrow satin tubes, which were filled with cotton cording, swirled into the coil shapes, and hand stitched to the shell. The halter is fastened at the front of the neck with a hidden and adjustable snap closure, and the back halves of the dress are joined together with a hook and eye closure.
