The Dean chose a preferred design to continue the challenge. The winning designer consulted with the Dean to make fabric selections.

Following the meeting, the candidates developed three design concepts each.

Under the guidance of Dr. Wilson, the candidate(s) created the pattern to construct the chosen design with the cost of materials covered by the Dean.
