Fitting a Shirt

Hey Guys,

I'm here to talk to you about Course 3 Assignment 5, from ParsonsxTeenVogue Certificate in Fashion Industry Essentials course!

I found this exercise quite fun. The goal was to "step into the designers place" and size an ill-fitting shirt to a friend or family member. In this instance, I had to make the hem shorter, adjust the sleeve length by pulling the shoulder seam up, and fitting the sides and arms of the shirt. When designers create a garment and receive the "rough draft" back from the factory, they must pin the fabric where it fits best on the "fit" model, mark the pin line with tailor's chalk or a pen, and send the revised version back to the factory or sample room. A fit model is a model that is the size of a person that represents the target demographic. So, if you had a plus size line you would have a plus size fit model.

For this assignment, we only had to do the pinning. I included a timelapse video of myself doing it below as well as before and after photos of the shirt.

Enjoy!😄

Embroidery: Chic or Eek?

Image
Hey Guys! Welcome back! Today, I'll be talking about a newer trend - embroidery. It's been seen on runways from Alexander McQueen to Marchesa. I, on one hand, think embroidery is super chic and it can work for everyone, if they style it correctly. On the other hand, if it's not done well, it will look dated. Embroidery is the decorative stitching of yarn or thread on a piece of fabric. It's one of this season's most popular trends. For me, the embroidery has to be elegant and in flattering places to look good. I also think that embroidery is prettier on black fabric. In my opinion, embroidery on white can look like a Spanish folk dress, which could be really pretty if that's your style. If you still want to have embroidery on white but with a different look, I would recommend making the dress shorter, with less movement, and with cooler embroidery colors such as blue, pink, and/or green. All in all, I th...

Image
Hey Guys! Welcome Back! Today I'm going to highlight a few of the trends from Fashion Month Fall/Winter 2017/18! These trends are really chic and cute! They've been seen all over the runway from Miu Miu to Alexander McQueen. Trend 1 = Colored Faux Fur Alexander McQueen Outono/Inverno Leonard Miu Miu These Beauties are soft, warm, FUZZY, and easy to style! For the bigger coats that cover most of the body, you don't need any other pieces showing, so as not to overwhelm the outfit, unless it's absolutely frigid, then maybe a pair of jeans. XD For the shirts with the fur accents, you could put on a nice pair of jeans with some showstopper boots and a nice up-do. Trend 2 = Broud Shoulders Tibi Zimmermann All the pieces I showed you above have some menswear-inspired elements to them. You'll also see this trend with more feminine pieces, like the outfit below. This broad shoulder piece is a bit more feminine and it include...
