Design Realisation so far ...

I’m really enjoying design realisation, we had to take inspiration from a vintage garment, shop reports and high summer 2011 to inspire tailored garments. Here is some of my research and designs:








I deconstructed it completely and I got so much inspiration from it. In the last project we deconstructed a garment and I found it really helpful in my understanding so I decided to do it again. I put different parts o f the jacket upon a manikin, creating different shapes and silhouettes to create different garment ideas.




We started making the pattern yesterday and I am really pleased with myself as so far I have got stuck in and tried not to get worked up about the pattern cutting, In fact I’m really enjoying it.


We also learnt about lay plans, we had a task to lay a jacket block onto a set piece of fabric with as little wastage as possible. It was quite interesting but difficult. You had to think very logically filling the spaces like a jigsaw.
