Toile Review

Today we had our toile reviews for our final sports vs fashion project! The making of mine went quite well actualy and i didnt need to ask anything about the construction which i was quite impressed with myself about!!Only thing was when i was on the over locker and i cut into the garment abit!!luckily this is only the toile-imagine if it had been the actualy thing!!Think i could have literally collapsed and died!!!
Initially i wasnt nervous at all about this, but then everyone started getting all panicky about it on the thursday when i came in to finish mine, so by the time i got to mine today i was tres tre sscared and had all butterflies in my stomach!!!
Anyways i went in with the lovely jen who had offered to model for me(thanks for waiting around jen ;) ), and what was i nervous for?!!Honestly, i always get worked up for nothing!!
Basically I have to make a few changes:
  • Make it longer in the body-(it was abit risque on jen)
  • No zip
  • Take the drape over the bit of the top in more so its more fitted
  • Take the band on the top in so more fitted
  • And think about the fabric-I was originally going to make the catsuit bit in grey jersey and the drape top in lycra but the tutors said it would be better to do it the other way round and maybe look into using a pattern on the catsuit with a plain top!! They all really liked the striped material id used for the toile although I thought it looked abit like a pajama onesie!!oh well!!

So im going to make these little changes and go and source out the fabrics and voila!!I can start making!!eeeek!!
