"Clothes. Yes. You are all right. Which is why I said you were almost correct with robes. It will be more separates than anything though," Issy smiled at the couple of them that were SO close. "Some of you came up with different ideas for tops - t-shirts, shirts etcetera. And the answer is yes to all of that. Depending on your skill level you could even attempt to make a raincoat if you wished," Issy said, nodding over at West, Emmaleigh and Vickers.
"Basically the spell you will be learning today will change anything, as Miss Campbell suggested, in our case rubbish bags, into a piece of clothing for your upper body." Isabelle gestured to her from her shoulder down to her waist, in case any of them were unsure. "And as Prefect Hollingberry rightly guessed, my plan is for you all to learn a new spell each lesson, and over the course of the term create a full outfit for yourselves." Simple, right? They'd get to be fashion designers.
"Now, do any of you have a question before we move on to the spell?"
West had been looking at the rubbish bag and he did have a question, sort of along the lines of what Kurumi said. Sort of. He put his hand up.
"Is it easier to make stuff if they already sort of resemble what you're making? Like the rubbish bag kinda has a space for your arms and head if you cut holes in it, so its sort of like a top anyway? So if you wanted to use something else, do you need to, or is it easier to, make it look sort of the right shape first?" Like stapling parchment together so it was the shape of a t-shirt or something. He could imagine, otherwise, that whatever it is might just change into a scrap of fabric or something.
