So here is an update on what's been going on. After my paper trials on the mannequin I applied the exact concept to a dress with a flared paneled A-line skirt. There is actually inverted pleats at the seams of the skirt panels but it can't really be viewed in the photos. My biggest concern with this design is that it is too simple in aesthetic, although pattern making was a whole different story. The origami-like folds are fused on both sides and because of this the seams were quite difficult to sew. It also required trimming, similar to that in tailoring.
Through this toile I have been questioning myself on how I am able to use origami in my designs... considering my technically challenged nature in pattern making. Maybe I will return to this design and rework it, but as for now... I will leave it at that.
