Final week My final garment

My final garment.

This week I chose to change up one of my garments  to create a complete different garment.
I had a choice of adding to my a garment or creating a new garment.
I deconstructed my week 5 organza dress, i chose thiis dress because i felt i could have been a bit more experamental with the bottom and draped it a bit better.
I spend a whole day looking at different materials and then later came to the decision that i did not want to buy new materials. I wanted to use recycle some of my old garments, clothing etc.
I recycled my Muslim scarfes, something that meant alot to me could now have another purpose. I sewd three sacrfes together to create one and then draped them onto the to bodess.

Week 9- Trousers 3 Jersey, wet look pvc and Leatherette

For the final trousers i decided to make two outfits and test myself abit because i know working in the fashion industry you have to challenge yourself.
I made a pair of leggingswith a matching waist jacket and a jumpsuit. I knew if i put in the correct time and effort i would succed.
I fell in love with the leggings material, it was so urban and in date. I was inspired my the music and rap culture (artists such as Nicki Minaj and Jesse J) two well known music artists.

 I did not copy something i that the media has seen them in before, instead i worked with my own original style to create something which the celebs would most likley want to wear.

Applied the darts

Peter pan collar

I had to use my little brother for this fitting as my mannequinn was too big :)

I used hooks as a decorative feature.

This was one of my most succesful garments so i also used it in UEL 1st year independent fashion show

Jumpsuit
When i hear the word 'jumpsuit' I imagine 'catwoman'. I did not have an initial idea for this jumpsuit i wanted to do it as i went along and see what i could create.
I cut out a basic jumpsuit pattern, took in 4cm on each leg to make it fittted around the leg area. I then left it a day befor continuing my jumpsuit because i did not want it to look so basic i wanted it to have interesting features.
I then decided to take away a 'v' shape from the front and from the back.
I had trouble with sewing on the arms (as i have never done arms before) but i had verbal help and guidance from maxine over the phone and things became alot clearer.

I am really proud of this garment because i have gone from 1/10 to about 6/10 in the space of a few weeks, this module really has helped me step my game up and seeing the result of my jumpsuit mad me more confident as a person.

Week 8- Dress 3 shiffon

This week matthew chose shiffon, this was meant to be my best dress yet but it did not go to plan. i was dissapointed with it but there where good aspects to it aswell.
It was not as succesful as i imagined, I complicated the design. I set myself a task i could not yet handle.
I had an image in my head of what i wanted this dress to look like but I did not meet this goal.
I do think this dress looks goo for what it is but jus had higher expectations.
The strongest detail to this dress is the reptile look i did at the back and the draping of the yellow and blue at the front.

My dress really reminded me of a lizard.
