Costume Rendering
Regency Dresses
I was tasked with designing ten different dress variations containing and gathered sleeve or straight sleeve, a pleated dirndl skirt and a variation in necklines. These dresses will be part of UNCSA costume stock to be used in future productions. They will be constructed by the undergraduate first year class in their Spring semester.

I spent 15 weeks studying 5 different fabric types using marker and watercolor to try to accurately render each swatch. Strathmore Bristol smooth surface 11” x 14” with Clipart markers and Artfinity markers. Fabriano Studio Watercolor Paper 11” x 14” with watercolors. 2024.
