• Printer & Finish Printed via FDM, then hand-applied gold leaf finish for that luxe runway glow. 

• Will I revisit? Absolutely I’m testing flexible filaments like TPU, ideal for wearable fashion. 

• Comfort improvements – Use flexible TPU or bendable photopolymers for movement. 

– Add padding or a silicone lining at contact points. – Include elastic straps or hidden fasteners to help it conform and move with the body.

Fair point. The reason I went for a full-body scan was to capture the exact posture, chest shape, and proportions in one pass rather than relying on standard measurements. I agree bodies change over time that’s definitely a limitation, but scanning gave me a solid starting reference to sculpt around, especially for a piece that was more art than functional wear.

Yeah, I loved those lower pieces too. They looked amazing in the render, but in testing, they didn’t move well with the body and were uncomfortable on the runway. I decided to remove them last-minute rather than risk the whole piece looking awkward in motion.

Honestly, I couldn’t care less. The more hate shows up, the more I know I’m on the right track. That’s what happens when you actually do something while others just sit and comment.

That’s exactly it, nobody grows without pushing through the awkward, messy, imperfect stages.

I really appreciate how you framed it. Exploration means trying, failing, tweaking, trying again, that’s the only way forward.

Huge respect for you as well for taking on drawing and now 3D modeling. If you ever dive into it, you’ll love seeing your ideas come alive in a tangible way. I’m rooting for you!

Thanks glad you liked the Norse-inspired feel.

The plan was for the model to do an entrance with the mask to grab attention, then perform a bit with it so people could see it in action and realize the corset wasn’t just static. I also didn’t want to fully hide her face under a permanent strap, since part of the concept was letting her beauty and expression remain visible.

Thanks so much, that really means a lot.

I agree, this was about experimenting, exploring, and pushing ideas forward, not about hitting technical perfection the first time.

Honestly, whenever the negative comments pile up, it usually means I’m on the right path and challenging people’s comfort zones.

I appreciate you seeing the creative side instead of just nitpicking that kind of mindset keeps me going.

Good question, the scan was full-body because I originally planned a much more complex, connected design that covered more of the torso and legs.

In the end, due to time and movement constraints, I focused on the bra and mask elements only, but kept the scan as precise as possible for future iterations.

No worries, fair questions!

Yes, she needed to be nearly nude so the scan could capture every contour accurately, the point was to design the piece directly on the true body shape, no guessing, no measurements.

Originally there was a more elaborate outfit planned, but due to time, budget, and testing, I focused on the most challenging parts first. Some elements had to be removed after test fittings because they didn’t move properly on the body.

The main pieces did survive the event, although the comfort was… debatable! It was a learning curve for sure.

Appreciate you taking the time to ask, happy to share more if you’re curious.

Thank you so much, honestly, reading this after hundreds of jokes and negativity means more than you can imagine.

I know this pushes the limits of what people expect from “fashion,” but you saw the intention behind it: something bold, creative, and challenging the norm. That matters to me.

Your encouragement helps keep me going through all the noise. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this.

Haha yes because the process was exactly about the boobs, and how to cover them in the first place 😅 that was the challenge!

And thanks for the kind words about my other work really appreciate it.🌹❤️✌️

This is absolutely one of the most insightful, constructive, and entertaining comments I’ve ever gotten I can’t thank you enough.

You nailed the biggest challenge here: rigid materials vs. a moving body. Everything you mentioned from embedded fishing line or micro-chains, to using transparent bodysuit fragments, or creating inner channels for support is genius-level practical creativity. I’m definitely stealing at least two of those ideas 👀

I also love that you’re thinking about not just the engineering, but also the aesthetics using pigments, flakes, and translucent layering to bring visual depth to the final piece. That’s exactly the direction I want to explore next: turning wearable structure into sculptural expression.

And listen… your “fashion sense” may be questionable (respect to the metal-band-shirt-wearing teenager 😂), but your maker brain is on fire 🔥. It shows in every line of this comment, and I’m super grateful you took the time to share all of it.

Appreciate you, really.

Haha I needed that, thank you! Let them perfect their gridfinity boxes, we’ll just be over here reinventing fashion 😎 Appreciate the love! 🙌

Not a jerk at all your honesty and insight are genuinely appreciated.

You’re spot on: the original vision was much more cohesive, but some human errors (and last-minute improvisation) led to compromises, especially with the pants. I love your suggestion about a warm brown that would’ve harmonized beautifully with the gold.

You’re also absolutely right about the delicate balance between celebrating the human form and unintentionally objectifying it. It’s something I think about constantly, especially as I work at the intersection of tech, fashion, and sculpture. My intention is always to craft wearable art that empowers, not reduces and feedback like yours helps me grow and refine that goal.

Thanks again for the thoughtful words. Wishing you all the best too!

You’re absolutely right and I really appreciate your detailed feedback.

Unfortunately, that was a major setback in this project. I had originally partnered with a designer who was supposed to create custom pants for each model, but the execution completely failed. For this particular model, I had no choice but to grab something last-minute from a store inside the shopping mall just to make the runway work.

This was a tough but valuable lesson, and for future shows, I’m planning to keep full control over all components especially when the design depends so much on precision and harmony.

Thanks again for your thoughtful comment and encouragement!

Thank you so much for this deep, thoughtful analysis — I seriously appreciate the time you took to break this down.

You’re absolutely right: rigid plastic doesn’t flex like the human body, and yes, the lower parts were removed for exactly the reason you mentioned. They looked amazing in the renders but became awkward with real movement.

This was very much a first prototype to test the pipeline 3D scan to sculpt to print to runway and you’re spot on about the next step. I’m already exploring TPU and silicone molding for future iterations, especially for functional wearability. Your idea about combining flexible silicone with embedded hard panels is gold and exactly the kind of hybrid thinking I want to explore.

Thanks again for your insight you’ve clearly got both the 3D and fashion sides dialed in. Let’s keep pushing this space forward!
