Final Garment.....!

For my garment i chose to remake one of my garments 
I chose the dress. that i thought was the best and had the best outcome and chose a different  fabric.
To see if the outcome would be different.
The Fabric was sourced in A-Z Fabrics in shepherds Bush
And is a cotton and linen mix
It cost £5 a meter and i bought 2meters all together it was £10
I used most  of the fabric because of the smocking and i used the material as lining.
I used the same technique as the first garment.
It took the same time to do the smocking. so  i was happy with that.


It looked the same but the only thing is that this fabric frayed more than the other.


Making this was easier and i even made the pattern fit me. so it shows i have learned to alter patterns. The production pattern was a size 12 and i made it a size 4.
I have taken the zip off twice because i felt it wasn't neat enough so that was the only problem i had.

Not a lot went wrong so i was pleased and enjoyed making the dress. 
Compared to the first dress the sewing has improved.

This fabric was easier to press because it wasn't as slippery.
So i learnt the difference between the 2 fabrics and learnt that it is key to pick the right fabric to match the design.
I think the garment is fashion because it shows skill and style and it's unique.
