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...
Fashion Illustration Week 1: MIB: For our Fashion Illustration module (DST64104) this semester, the core objective is to develop our proficiency in visually communicating fashion design concepts. This will be achieved through the exploration of diverse illustration techniques and media, encompassing pen, colored pencil, and marker applications across three progressive assignments. The learning environment will be primarily studio-based, supplemented by online resources via TIMES, necessitating a minimum attendance of 80%. Assessment is weighted towards continuous evaluation (60%), focusing on the completion and submission of these assignments, culminating in a final illustration project (40%) that integrates learned techniques. Throughout the module, emphasis will be placed on cultivating independent learning, creative problem-solving, and adherence to academic integrity, particularly regarding plagiarism. The final project will require a comprehensive application of acquired sk...
