Interview AND INSPIRATION
We began with an interview to understand Olivia’s style, preferences, and fashion influences. Afterward, I gathered ideas from Pinterest and other fashion resources to help guide the design process.

SELECTION
Olivia came over to review the fabrics in my collection, and together we selected two: a stretchy athletic-type fabric donated by my sister and a pair of jeans, also donated by her. We felt the two fabrics complemented each other well.

FITTING
To assist with the construction, we decided to use a mannequin for most of the fitting process. The adjustable mannequin allowed me to continue working on the garment when Olivia wasn’t available, ensuring the design stayed aligned with her size and fit.

Using the fabric we selected, I created a halter top with an open back and a tie closure. I added a denim collar neckline and a denim lining that extended to the back tie to secure the garment.
