Toile Review!!

I found I was pretty nervous about this, mainly because I’ve never had a review like this before and it was all very new and unknown however it all went well and I’m pretty happy with the feedback I received! Thankfully the dress fit my model pretty well which was a good start. The tutors asked to see fabric samples in addition to my working drawing and design. I explained my ideas of how the final piece will work and be put together as well as some of my concerns which they were able to help me with. They complimented me on how the panels had been sewn in and mentioned it should be a strong piece once finished!! They also seemed to really like the fabric samples for the bottom panels I have produced.

From here my next step is to buy my fabric and adjust my pattern in places to even out the hem line and bring down the arm hole. I’m slightly tempted to put together a second toile before moving on to making the real thing, mainly for my peace of mind, but I may need to see how I go for time over the Easter hols.
