Evaluation For this project I decided to create a non-stretch body as we had recently learnt how to do this in a technical session and I felt confident that I could recreate it with my own tweaks to the design. I found the modelling on the stand easy to do, and creating the pattern from the taping on the stand. However, when I made the toile there were a few adjustments that I did need to make to some of the pattern pieces which I think were partly due to my inaccuracies in tracing and sewing. Linda had to help me reshape my centre cup as it was slightly too small and I had added the seam allowances in the wrong place so it was pulling the foam cup underneath. I decided to use 3 thread overlock on the seams for the garment as I had used this for my toile of the padded plunge stretch body we learnt in a technical session. I made the decision to use this for my garment as I believe it was the best way to keep the seams neat and secure. I didn’t want to use french seams for this garment as that was going to take a lot of time and I wanted the garment to be quick and easy to produce. However, if I was to make this garment again I might try french seams to see what effect it produces. I used a pale pink satin for the construction of the garment as it had the look I wanted, and I believed it went well with my design ethos. Also, it gave the garment the structure it needed from having powernet side panels. The only issue I had with the satin is that it frayed very easily making it quite difficult to work with. If I was to make this garment again, I would try with a fabric that might not fray as much. Overall, I’m very happy with the fit and look of my final piece.
