From the early stages in the design process fabric samples were sourced in order to select the final fabric and place orders in time for the final garment manufacture. Sourcing fabric at an early stage also helps to gain an understanding if your chosen design would work in that material. For example a woollen coat may not work with a more 3D design as the wool is more likely to drape than hold a strong structure. Meaning fabric sourcing can help aid your design choices.
Samples were sourced online from Dragonfly fabrics, My fabrics and also in local fabric stores in Manchester.
The fabric chosen for the final coat is the first blue fabric shown on the second picture. The fabric is boiled wool, chosen for its soft feel and its potential to drape / fold nicely with the garment. The fabric will be sourced from Dragonfly Fabrics.
