Objective was to create a garment based off of a flower or plant in the stages of either growing, blooming, or dying. Requirements were to use a satin or silk like fabric with at least one color that comes from the flower (or all) and then another one or two that are complementary or analogous to the selected color. Black, white, and grey were not an option.
