Layer For Comfort

As I presented in class, fishnets are relatively uncomfortable to wear. A tactic we found that Goths usually do is layering. For example they may layer clothes under fishnets or stockings on top of stockings. This may or may not be a style to wear fishnets, but it is a good tactic to make it more comfortable.

This is a picture of Moira modeling the original shirt we made.



Since the idea of layering for comfort is pretty common in the fashion sense, we decided to layer for mental comfort instead of the physical comfort.




Whether one is pro choice or not, this is probably not something that is relatively comfortable to look at. Having the original fabric layered over the picture of the fetus, it provides a mental comfort to the viewer.

I like that you found a way to get away from layering with more fabric. The result is quite shocking. I wonder what would happen if you added another layer--of text or another image on top of the flap.
