Toile, Lectra Feedback and Hand-In’s...

Pretty busy again at the moment.

Yesterday I managed to hand-in my Buying and Merchandising assignment as well as my ‘Beales’ application. I’m really pleased I was able to hand them in as now I am free to concentrate on my toile and get ready for the toile review I have on Monday!

I’ve spent the whole day today working on my toile. First the whole thing needed a good press and then I sewed the front and back together at the side seams. I then spent a while focusing on the fit of the dress to the mannequin as my previous concerns about the fit of the dress had proved right and the dress was a wee bit too baggy for my liking. With some advice from my tutors I simply nipped in the seams at the side and on the darts which gave the dress a shape I was far more happy with. And thank goodness, these alterations didn’t alter the panel shapes and sizes much at all!

As well as this I got my mark for the Lectra unit which I am very very happy with so I did include all I needed too! Phew!
