Week 11: Fitting

 This week was an exciting and crucial phase in my final project journey: the fitting stage. I had my model try on the test garments for both looks, and this hands-on session provided invaluable insights into fit, design, and functionality. It was a challenging but enlightening experience, where every adjustment helped refine my understanding of pattern drafting and garment construction. Fitting Look One: Tailoring to Perfection For Look One, the test fit revealed several areas that needed adjustment: Frills Adjustment: The bottom frills needed elongation to balance the proportions of the garment. This required recalculating the frill dimensions and ensuring they still maintained their flow and structure when worn. Sleeve Refinement: The sleeve length wasn’t quite right for my model’s arm measurements. To fix this, I slashed the sleeve pattern and shortened the drop while ensuring the puff effect was retained. This adjustment taught me how small pattern manipulations can drasticall...

 Unfortunately i wasnt present during the first week as my visa took time to come.  there would be more updates the following weeks.... WEEK 2   BASIC SHIRT DETAILINGS RESEARCH COMPILATION We studied the minute intricacies that go into a simple shirt in my "Introduction to Fashion Design" class. Every component, from collars to cuffs, adds to the overall style and usefulness. I increased my awareness of the countless options in shirt details by compiling five different styles for every shirt component as part of our homework. For this task, making a presentation was just as enlightening as the study. I went about the method as follows: 1. Outlining the Framework I began by listing the essential components of the garment I want to display. I chose to concentrate on the primary shirt components—collars, pockets, cuffs, silhouettes, and plackets—because the task asked me to investigate five different styles for each aspect. This method of structuring my research guaranteed t...

WEEK 5: Making Skirt

  My Journey into Skirt Making In my fashion design pattern-making class, we recently embarked on the journey of creating a skirt from scratch. The process involved learning a variety of essential sewing techniques—from overlocking to attaching waistbands. As someone new to these techniques, I quickly realized that constructing a skirt isn’t as simple as it looks. Each step requires precision, practice, and patience. This blog will walk through my experience and some of the challenges I faced while learning to sew a skirt. The first step in our skirt-making process was overlocking the edges of the fabric. Overlocking (or serging) ensures that the fabric edges don’t fray, creating a clean and professional finish. I found this step to be fairly straightforward, but controlling the overlocker was something that took me a bit of practice. Keeping the fabric aligned and ensuring even stitching around curved edges was tricky at first, but with each practice run, I gained more confidence....
