Stretching Tights... such a mission

The second stretch i tried experimenting with was with tights.... success? Yeah i guess so , but the piece got crushed in my bag before i even got a change to drape it, Oops ...


As there was now less 'fabric' to stretch aound the shape- it created alot of difficulty to mould around the 3D structure ( 2 polystyrene cubes)... i wonder if you can buy tight 'fabric' on a roll?
Why was it a mission ... lets say i tried to bite more than i can chew - tshape was too big and failed stretching over it.. haha.. also the noise was unbearable - squeak squeak ! 



Though I never had high hopes for this trial to work and for the fabric tights to stay in shape… it actually did. Amazing results! The transparency of the tights created a very interest outcome and depth. The area where polystyrene foam remains on the tights especially create a more defined edge which could be used to an advantage when draping on a stand….

Right, now to drape !! exciting !
