Today I decided to give designing a break as it is something I can go back towards the end up my project after the photo shoot. Instead I focused on the jacket I want to make for my final piece. I used a book from the library to make the pattern because I'd never made something with a dropped should and was sure how to do it. I simplified the sleeve of my design so I could focus on the drop shoulder as this made the pattern easier to make and I could then add in the complicated details later. My first toile turned out well but I noticed that the jacket was restricting me from lifting my arm. I wasn't sure how to resolve this so I asked my teacher and she should me what to change on the pattern to fix this.
For my next pattern I added in the sleeve detail and did what my teacher told m so that hopefully I will have more movement in the jacket. My next toile was a lot better, I like the sleeve shape although it could be a little more exaggerated and I was able to move a lot more. If I added a gusset or a side panel I would probably have full flexibly but this will be something I'll come back to if I have time because it won't make a difference in the photo shoot if the model can't fully lift up her arms.
Tomorrow I'm going to take pictures of my model wearing the jacket so I can see how it looks on her and if it fits her right because so far I have only tried it on myself.
