SELF CRITIC



CRITIC
Week 1:-
In week 1 we learnt the basic of pattern drafting i.e. the basic bodice, basic skirt and basic sleeve. We made their toile fits on muslin. After checking the drapes on the body form, I realized that drafts of the bodice and skirt should always have darts so that the fabric drapes well on the body.                                                                       Week 2:-
 We did the 2 methods of dart manipulation i.e. the pivot method and the slash and spread method. Both these methods are used for shifting a dart. Using these methods we had to stitch a combined assignment of empire line with yoke style, combined neckline and armhole facing and back waist dart construction and converting back shoulder dart into yoke line. As I love stitching, I enjoyed the assignment a lot.
Week 3:-
We stitched a combined assignment of the French dart with Fullness gathers, back slit opening placket, Peter Pan collar and bias fitted neckline facing. Stitching the whole thing took quite a lot of time. Then, we had to make sleeve adaptations on half scale.
 Week 4:-
 We learnt the skirt adaptations.                                                             
Week 5:-
We made pockets and fasteners.                                                                                
Week 6:-
 We had to create a pleated skirt design and a top design using dart manipulation and then stitch them. As we freedom to choose the fabric of our choice I enjoyed working on it.                                                           Week 7:-
 We had to start preparing our visual diary. Taking inspiration from the architecture, costumes, paintings etc. from different eras and pick an inspiration and express it on paper or fabric. We also made a ppt. presentation on a comparative study of the east and the west. While doing the research, I got to know a lot of similarities between India and the west.

In Week 8:-
 We had to write an essay taking points from the ppt. made in the earlier week and also make 30 dds on our theme.
