I respectfully acknowledge the Eastern Kulin Nations (Daung wurrung, Woi wurrung, and Boon wurrung), Wadawurrung Nation and Butchulla people as the Traditional custodians of the unceded lands where I was born, live/d and work/ed, and pay respects to their Elders past and present.
The New Brief
Dresses make up of a quarter of Australian wardrobes, the largest quantity of any item, and yet they are the least worn of any item (Khan, Shaw & Bandara 2022).
The Dress Audit Survey was the first phase of my PhD project – a digital wardrobe study – that asked participants about their most and least worn dress. The findings helped to formulate a new design brief that could helpd to increase the active life of dresses.
