Look One is Done!

This week I finished making the first ensemble for my collection. Even though I created a prototype before working with my final fabric, there were still some challenges that I encountered. For my prototype, I was using fabric that I had leftover from past projects , so the overall fit and the way the fabric of my prototype sewed was completely different than my final fabric. In some aspects, this was good since my leggings in my final fabric ended up fitting much better than my prototype. In other ways, it was tricky, especially with the grey mesh I picked out for my shirt was a little bit on the slippery side. 
Another challenge I encountered while making this look, was creating an appliqué. I've never made one before and was worried it could potentially look homemade. After some playing around with shapes and fabrics, I perfected it. 

I am very happy with the way this overall look turned out --- now onto look number two!
