Photoshoot..

Final Garments..

After both garments were finally finished we were overall pleased with the outcome. Although if I have to do this project again I would change the skirt to look more attractive and more wearable. However I feel that it fits in well with our research and shows a very innovative design. I am most pleased with our top as we used subtraction cutting and I would defently use this technique again. I think that the fabric we used looks great and very transparent however was very hard to sew and didnt look the best it could have after being unpicked a few times. I am excited to do a photoshoot with our garments and to see it on a model.

Toile..

                    The top..

Firstly we drew out the patterns for back and front bodice, linning and the tunnels. Added seam allowance and cut out.

Next we placed both of our fabric on top of eachother measured that the width was 60cm and length being 1m. cut out both pieces of fabric.

Then we sewed up three side of the fabric and bagged out but leaving the bottom open.

Then placed our bodice pattern pieces onto the fabric. however unlike last time we subtraction cut we ensured that the pieces were high up the top of the fabric as we were making a top this time unlike the dress we previously made. we drew around the pieces and made our lines for our negative space. Cut out then added tunnels (only one pair.) we sewed the side seams together, the shoulders and the tunnels.

And ended up with our top. The back of the top was very high up so when it comes to our final garment we will place the tunnels on the back. Other than that we were very pleased with it and feel confident about making our final garment.

The skirt

Firstly we drew around the skirt block but added our own length to it measuring the skirt from waist to bottom 110cm long. added seam allowance of 1cm and cut out.

Next we cut down the right side of the dart to the hip line and then cut along the hip line. tapped it back down to another piece of pattern paper..

                                              

Then we decided how big we wanted our dart to be and stuck down again.

Then we joint up the dart and added seam allowance.

Then cut out are pattern pieces in fabric sewed together the darts and side seams and we ended up with our skirt..

We were pleased with the structure of our skirt and once again feel confident about making the final garment as there were no complications and we felt it was easy to put together. All we need to do now was add a waist band.

Final Design..

After Discussing our designs with eachother in the group we all agreed on a final garment. a transparent skirt structured to poke out at the top and fall down straight. And a subtraction cut top with leather straps placed around the body to give it some structure.

I am very pleased with our final outcome as it reflects all of our research and designs well.
