Made a pattern for the top I want to make. It turned out almost perfect the first time, a little too big for my model so I need to make a bit smaller but that will be easy to adjust.
Made a pattern for the trousers and toiled. Too small for me but may fit model because she is smaller to will fit on her tomorrow.
Today I made the pattern for the top I'm planning to make and I toiled it. I want to get all of my pattern making done by the end of the week so I can make all my clothes in week 7 in one for the photo shoot in week 8.
The top is a fairly simple halter top with a peplum and turtle neck. This was really easy to make as I've made several halter tops before so just had to adjust one of my own patterns. I tried it on the model and it's a little too big for her but I'll fix this by adding more pleats around the waist. I love how the top turned out but I'm not sure how I'm going to get the print on there as I don't think I'll have time to trial printmaking techniques this week. I'm think about weaving the print or have some kind of weaving detail on there but I'm not sure yet.
I wasn't sure what kind of bottoms I wanted to put with this top but after seeing it marry definitely needs to be paired with trousers. Using an old pattern of mine I retraced them and made them into flares. I tried the toile on myself and another girl but they were too small for both of us. By that time my model had gone home so I'm going to try them on her tomorrow and hopefully they'll fit her as she is quite petite. I definitely want there to be more of a flare as its only on one side and I want it to be really exaggerated.
Tomorrow I'm going to think more about fabrics and colours so I can by my fabrics this weekend.
