My garment is out of used umbrella which includes fabric and metal rods present in it. The garment has four parts. I have used the worn out plain black, white with black dots and transparent umbrella fabric.

The first is the bustier which is white and has black dots on to it. It has a metal ring at the center. The metal ring is in the molten form (from the metal rods). The bustier has opening at the back.

On top of the bustier is worn a stylish sleeveless top which has big collars and opening at the front. The fabric used is plain black fabric of umbrella. It is tied at the front with a metal button. On the edge of the collar, I have used metal rods in a running stitch style. The same running stitch style has been used at the pleats of the top, and also at the pleats, square molten pieces of metal rod have been used.

The third piece of the garment is an asymmetric ruffle skirt with a frill at the end. The skirt is supported with a molten metal belt. The skirt consists of fabric which is the white with black dots and has a plain black fabric at the frills. Again I have used the metal rods at the frills of the skirt in the running stitch style.

The last garment is the trench coat which is made of transparent fabric of umbrella, that has a wide opening with a patch work at the front and back of the coat, the patch work is of a plain black and white fabric with black dots. Piping is done overall of the trench coat.

I have accessorized the garment with a watch whose belt is the metal rod.

In the first file is the illustration of the garment, rendered. In the other files is the individual garment with details shown clearly.

The basic idea for me to use the black, dot printed and transparent fabric is that, these are found in abundance and can be the best way to reuse them. I have kept in mind that the garment should be wearable so as to encourage the use of worn out and waste umbrella to SAVE OUR ENVIORNMENT
