After the metal structure was complete I then decided to paint it black to reflect the theme of the little black dress (image 1) I used black hammerite paint. It was a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I ended up having to do 11 coats of paint to completely cover the structure due to the metal being quite difficult to cover.
I then started working on my belt for my metal to be attached to. Before I could begin I had to consider how many layers of leather the sewing machine could sew through (image 2). The sewing machine could stitch up to 3 layers therefore I was able to use my initial idea for my belt (image 3).
