Objectives

   We aimed to create a skirt that would rise in height and become wider when a button on it is pressed. This skirt would allow the user to change its style according to comfort, as a wider skirt could feel less warm to wear in a hot climate. However, creating the full skirt was out of our scope so we decided to create a prototype of half of the skirt and the mechanism that was used to open it. This allowed us to focus on the functionality of the mechanism instead of worrying about making the full form and making a skirt that looked aesthetically wearable.
