Final drape dress

I was please with my final dress but it didnt turn out exactly how i wanted it. I think after having 10 days out of uni, i came back and panicked and tried to make it as quick as possible worrying that i wouldnt get it done in time. This is actually just a toile but people seemed to like the fabric i used.

Kaledo

For our draping project we had to chose from 5 dresses as our starting inspiration. This is the dress i chose and because i have recently been introduced to kaledo i though i'd practice by doing an illustration of my chosen dress. Using kaledo is soo much easier than illustrator and for future projects i will definitly use it to create my illustrations.

Draping on the stand...

This is my final jacket, i was really pleased with the outcome because i was a little worried about how the collar would turn out. I forgot my own buttons so had to use some from the uni which were pretty tiny but other than that i was happy.

Development of my jacket

It was good to actually start making somthing, there were so many pieces to the jacket i was possetive i was going to lose a few but i didnt and it all went well. Struggled with the collar a bit though.

Today was our presentation day, we all met up as a group and practice just a few more times before actually presenting because i think we were all a bit nervouse. I dont really mind talking in front of people and i found it a lot better when we were stood up there as a group. People seemed interested in our idea, and im think it went pretty well. The link to our group blog is below if you want to have a look.

Jacket pattern cutting

Getting back into pattern cutting after not doing it for soo long was definitely a struggle on the first day, but as we got more into it i started to pick up and remember things quickly again. Just needed a little re-fresh.
