For the independent project i chose to make a garment which was influenced by 1950s fashion. I firstly wrote myself a brief which was the aim i gave myself for the project. The aim i gave myself was to research the fashion in the 1950s and to design 4 different garments based on my research. The most successful design that i chose to make, i porduced a working drawing for it and then i could start making it. After drawing up the working drawing i then looked in to different materials and fabrics to use that was relevant to both the theme and the design. I chose to use a polyester type material as the top layer with a netting layer underneath as the under skirt. For the waistband i chose to use this satin material which looked nice when tied up as a bow. The process i used for making the skirt was mainly using the gathering stitch to create the ruffled shape and to give the skirt volume and shape. i made the skirt to fit my best friend who i used as my model and i could get a realistic idea of what it would look like when it was finished. The first part of the skirt i made was the two layers by sewing the gathering stitch and then sewing at the back, leaving room for the zip. I then stitched the zip in and tubed the material to make the bow. The final part was to attach the waistband to the skirt, trapping the raw edges of the outer layers inside it. Once the skirt had been completed all that was left to do was to put it on the model i made it on so i could take photographs to be printed off.
The photos below are the ones i printed and handed in along with the skirt and my sketch book as evidence of the project.
