4. Outfit design Exploration

Fig 4.1 Outfit Sketches

After the advice given by Ms Noranis, I ended up choosing the two on the right, the skirt as her default costume and the trousers as her alternate costume, Ms Noranis said that the skirt on the right had more of a five star character look to it, but it felt as though my character had a lot of skirts so she liked to give her a bit of a sense of contrast so i ended up choosing the trouser set as her alternate costume.
