The objective of this draping project was to recreate the aesthetic movement of a butterfly in flight and to emphasize environmental harmony. The resources and materials used are important to issues of the environment. Even though the green butterfly dress is very beautiful, it sends a strong message about risk to nature and the environment. The dress focuses on creating the movement of wings, like those of a butterfly in flight, when the wearer walks in it. The skirt makes a lovely wave, like a butterfly in a fresh and open green field. Overall, the figure presents an hourglass silhouette with a fitted upper body, narrow waist, and gradually flared full skirt.
