HER NAME
This crochet and draped red dress was made for my RISD Apparel Fall 2023 Identities studio.
The dress is an imagined version of the dress spoken about in Reba McEntire’s Fancy, and its conceptual narrative closely follows those discussed within the song. Through this garment, I discussed the creation of beauty that can emerge from economic hardship and our often limited or flawed perception of wealth and luxury. I focused deeply on the narratives discussed in “Fancy” and my broader concept reflected in both my material sourcing and making process. That said, the fabric used for the drapery was $4, the Yarn was $6, and the beads used for the embellishments were $15
