Buffering1 - This piece is based on the fabric of a shirt. The pressure is released by touching the pressure relief sponge in the piece as the wearer wears it. I have also incorporated some bead stitching and added the function of a clasp, so that a normal shirt can be folded in different ways depending on the movement of the track and the position of the clasp.

Buffering1 - This is a picture of how it looks when worn. You can see the direction of the folds and the different degrees of effect they can have.

Buffering2 - This piece is specifically designed for a stiff fabric such as a suit, as the fabric itself is thicker and does not easily have a pleated pattern change, but it can be shaped through the function of a button. But the look of the piece I have added an element of natural shaping, which according to my research is visually relieving. I have also added a decompression sponge to provide a tactile and visual relief during the interaction with the piece.

Buffering3 - This piece is a piece that I wanted to be able to change the fabric of either the suit or the shirt through the interaction between the jewellery and the wearer, the element of the bead and the stress relief sponge. The difference between the two previous pieces is that I have used a pattern of waves to visually relieve stress, and it is two brooches that can be joined together to give the texture of the fabric with metal.

Buffering3(1) - This is the second brooch that can be joined together. The uniform can also be worn in different ways by the wearer, with variations in fit and fabric patterning.
