Third Ensemble_


Since my last post I have made a lot of progress on my third look. The patterns and prototypes are complete; I have cut them out of my final fabric and started constructing the garments. I have the jacket lining sewn together and the outer shell of the jacket mostly sewn. Now I just need to sew them together and finish the hems to finish up the jacket. The crop top is mostly done, just need to attach the sleeves and finish the hems. The pant is also mostly done, I need to insert the zipper, finish the waist and hem the bottom.

I love the fabrics I chose for my collection; my favorite to work with has been the navy blue spacer mesh. It has a great weight to it and sews fairly easy. The best word that comes to mind when describing the port silk crepe is “creamy”. I love the color of the fabric and the softness of it; but it has been a bit difficult to work with. It is slippery and easy to snag.

Overall, I am making great progress on this look and will finish it by Thursday. Along with this look, I am completing an additional look for the show, which combines multiple fabrics into one dress.

Below are some process photos of my third look.
