Wearable Arts Competition

William Wray and I designed our toga uniform for the Wearable Arts 2014 show. The ideas came form Astrix and Oblec. The costume was made old bed sheets and recycled cardboard. The costume was called "Domum fecit a'toga." We also used recycled tinfoil. It took five days during the holidays to make.
Thank you William for all your help and encouragement. Thanks also to our mothers for helping.

Jess and I designed a dress called "Teardrop" for the Wearable Arts Competition. The dress was made out of an old dress that no one could fit any more. We added a newspaper veil, bottle caps on the ruffles of the dress. We had old chippy packets cut into teardrops.

Thanks goes to Caroline Waddams and Amanda and Richard Simpson for helping with the hot glue gun and sticking it together.
