I star cutting 5,000 straws and I would keep every single piece in order to manipulate different sizes and chapes to create my dress. My goal with this dress it's to create a really fresh and fun dress.

For the visual merchandising project so far my progress Is completion of the top. I have also dyed the fabric. After purchasing the skirt and dying the fabric I am now ready to cut and sew the skirt. The last  step will be the flowers.

I am currently in the process of finishing the paper flowers that will be attached to the muslin. When I first started making the flowers I did have difficulty making them come out the way I wanted them to, but I was able to finally make them right. Once I finish the flowers I will sew the muslin together from my chosen pattern and then dye the fabric a light green color so if there is any part that of the flowers that show though the green will show and still give it some color instead of just the white muslin. Once the muslin is colored I will attach the flowers.

I chose to go with the CEO target market and I chose this mannequin because I feel it's gesture is strong and profond as most CEO's tend to be. I also feel that the broadness of this mannequin is ment to fill out the suit and showoff how well made it is. The purfact that this mannequin does not have a head nor an obvious pole erecting from the back to the stand make this look more clean and expensive.

I chose to go with the "Club enthusiast" I chose these mannequins because They are clearly advertising "action" and this shows the customer how the garments could look on the client when in "action" I feel i find many highend active lifestlye retailers use these mannequins to help sell the full package.

I choose these mannequins for the CEO menswear apparel. The pose of the mannequins are effortlessly showing of the product. I could see mannequins in a high end store selling high-quality suits, shoes, and leather goods.
