Hey Diana.
Today we got to meet with the model, and take her measurements.
Waist--25 1/2.
34 inches.
We also looked at some inflatable skirts.
This is just like a pump you would use when you're camping to inflate mattresses.
What is the skirt made out of?
It's made out of plastic tablecloths.
That's what I thought it was.
Yeah, it's really easy because you just melt them together with an iron, and it seals them.
Just slip it on?
A plastic tablecloth?
Before the picnic, right?
I would definitely love the inflation to be in the sleeves.
We also looked at an EL wire coat.
The EL wire changes patterns based on how much she's moving.
It has a special driver in it, and the driver has an accelerometer.
And so the accelerometer senses when she's moving and creates a sparkling pattern.
Do we shut this off and try to touch the other EL wire?
Sure.
Great.
Maybe we could use some of this on the cape.
We could do like, hot pink EL wires.
Especially because we have the little trends on the cape.
Why don't you work on the designs.
Right now we're working on redesigning our dress using the LEDs and the EL wire and even some inflatables.
So what do we want to keep from this design, and what do we want to change?
I think we're just kind of adding on to it more so than completely changing it.
(Hallie) In this design we left out the puffy sleeves, so I think we should draw them back on.
(Izzie) Puffy sleeves, swimming--yeah!
The puffy sleeves were something that we definitely wanted in the initial design.
I think the cape part should change when she moves.
It might be a little too much with the LEDs?
I think that maybe we just need the shirt.
Like, just without the LEDs?
Yes.
I think this dress is going to look great.
(Diana) Girls, let's see what you have.
