Group notes:

• Can be really monochrome, i.e. optic white
• May spray faded 'candy colour' up from bottom hems on the finished garments, will see how they look purely monochrome
• Designs are very exaggerated silhouettes to highlight the difference between genders, can be very heightened features - boxy shoulders on my jacket, really structured hips on Harriette's dress - look at Melania Trump's inauguration dress
• Experiment in the print room maybe with flocking too, to add texture and depth
• The garments are going to be worn by other characters/actors in other scenes, so really needs to be plenty of room/ease

• Costume drawing has no tie- still making a tie
• Jacket and tie are still priority makes
• Bring leopard print colours (yellow/orange) into the lining
• Needs to look crisp, clean lines
• Modern suit jacket- neat short sleeves, well fitting. Maybe styled with turn up/rolled up to show some lining
• Looked at 19 fabric samples - not linen as creases too much; first choices are wool barathea and wool kova sateen from Whaleys (expensive so try to find other retailers/similar); not moleskin or velvet as too chunky, not 'clean' enough
• Looked at my moodboard of leopard prints- prefers the smaller scale prints, looks classier whereas the larger the print, the tackier the suit looks. Still experiment in the print room on Friday with a range of scales
• Suggested the flocking/some form of other texture could look good as a feature on the lapels only
