Scrub Dresses?!

Hello, All!

My name is Tramaine Tillman and I am a Fashion Design major. My group (fellow members are: Kumiko, Priscilla, Nui - Textiles major, Emily, and Ashley) and I have decided to build a clothing line based upon the usage of hospital scrubs. At the start of this project, we knew we wanted to build a company based upon using an upcyclable material that will never run out and is currently being wasted. As a result, we decided to pursue hospital scrubs because while they are traditionally only used for hospital needs (or as lounge wear by the owners since they're so darn comfy), by developing the right process(es), they can be transformed into absolutely elegant garments that no one would ever know came from scrubs! Ultimately, we have created a line-up of 10 dresses primarily using scrubs; 6-8 of which will be developed in 3D format by the end of the semester. We have made a tremendous amount of progress over the past 9 weeks, but at the same time, we have only just begun. All in all, we are very excited about this wonderful niche we've discovered and can hardly wait to see the outcome. I've posted a few pictures of some of the preliminary drapes we did so you can get an idea of the transformation the scrubs are undergoing.

Thanks for taking the time to learn about our project. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to post your remarks. The proposals presented, thus far, are SO interesting and innovative. It's a pleasure to be a part of such a diverse group of talented individuals!

Best,
Tramaine
