These are my final design boards I created using all of my research on size, print research and experimentation. I really like how these came out and these designs showcase how plus size woman can adapt clothing to feel comfortable in their skin. Here, you can also see the faces I designed and used.

My Final Print
Tumblr media
This is the print that I am going to use for the rest of my project and will be included in my final designs. I really love that I stuck with the nature theme but I can vary the size and design slightly to make it fit with my designs and ideas.

Illustrators and styles
Tumblr media
This page in my sketchbook shows my research on different illustrators who create plus size fashion illustrations. I also found a couple illustrators who use unique techniques that I am going to use as inspiration when I am designing. My favourite plus size illustrator I found is https://www.instagram.com/curvysketches/ because she shows how different body sizes and shapes can all be classes as plus size. I'm also going to take into consideration the way she makes the clothes flow and how she creates plus size body drawings as I find it hard creating 'realistic' body types.

My Print
Tumblr media
This page in my sketchbook shows the print I created that I was going to be using throughout the rest of the unit. It's an easy design that can be simplified if needed and can be produced at any size. I think it's very effective as I took many different pictures to use as inspiration and created them into this print. I am quite happy with how this turned out, however I have created another print that I like more and will be continuing to use.

Final Prints
Tumblr media
On this page of my sketchbook I have combined my 8 prints into 4 final prints. One of these I will continue using, however, I'm not sure which one yet. I really like how a few of my reference pictures were quite similar but my final prints have all turned out unique and different to eachother. I did find this quite challenging to let my mind loose and free to create 4 finalised prints however I am proud of myself for what I have achieved.

Prints
Tumblr media
For this page in my sketchbook I created 8 different prints based on a few images I took over the summer. I tried to stick primarily to the theme of nature as I think it is extremely beaytiful and makes for really nice patterns and prints. I tried my best to create versatile prints that can be adapted to the style of clothing they are being presented on. Soon I will merge these prints to create 4 final prints before I decide on the design I am going to contine using throughout this unit.

Size Diversity Research
As more businesses start to assess their sustainability and ethics standards, equality needs to be considered to make their consumers feel empowered and represented in the market, especially when it comes to fashion.Size inclusivity has been gaining more and more traction in the fashion industry over the last few years. From Versace embracing curvy models on the catwalk duringMilan Fashion Week, to Jameela Jamil endorsing ideas of “body neutrality“, to the rise of diverse models gracing our screens and fashion catalogues.While this is all taking place when it comes to more ethical fashion, size inclusivity has a way to go for it to truly be accessible to all conscious consumers. Size inclusivity is the practice of equally representing a wide variety of body shapes and sizes. Yet when it comes to clothing, most designers cap sizes from size 6-14 US (12-18 UK/AU), excluding a major market of consumers who fit outside of “standardised” sizing.
As society evolves, the fashion industry must adapt. The average size of an American woman hasincreased from size 14 to size 18. The body type that brands have catered to, both from marketing and technical design perspectives, is now outdated. The push for fashion to embrace size inclusivity is intensifying. And while there are now more brands offering sizes past 16 than ever before, many still get the sizing and fit for larger sizes wrong. Plus-sized clothing has traditionally fit consumers poorly. This is because of the methods brands use to "grade," or create a range of sizes for a single style. Brands typically begin with a single standard-size fit model, then scale up and down. While this method may work to fit consumers sized similarly to the original fit model, human bodies don’t scale up in a linear fashion. Brands that offer larger sizes should instead use plus-size fit models when designing their clothing and determining their grading. Another mistake brands make is designing for a single body shape. This means everyone with a different shape will have fit issues. Brands should account for multiple body types when designing their clothing, while also making sure that the styles and fabrics of their garments cater to all shapes and sizes. Many companies have begun to explore mobile 3-D body scanning as a way to offer their customers a perfect fit when shopping online. This technology lets consumers scan themselves with their smartphones, then uses their body dimensions to make personalized size recommendations. 
According to The Fashion Spot's Diversity Report, New York Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2022 runways showcased 48 plus-size models—which, in comparison to the six plus-size models that walked in the season prior, may seem like a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, it’s a fleeting one: the Spring 2020 season was the highest ever at 68 models beyond the sample size. As models who exist in bigger bodies have been forced to accept, designers' interest in championing body diversity oscillates from season to season. Many historic designer labels were founded on the ethos of loving and elevating the female form, Versace being a notable one. But since its founding, its clothing was tailored to a specific type of woman; gaunt, chiseled, and caucasian. So the increasing ushering of diverse model line-ups being sent down the runways felt forced to some.
