This is my final project for the collars topic in my patternmaking class, modelled after one that Natalie Portman wore in V for Vendetta
Ladies from the Ndlovo Community come together under a tree to learn how to make patterns and sew saleable garments and uniforms. Gogo Esther is 83 years old. Some of the ladies walk 2-hours to get here.
As life-size patternmaking is off-limits to me at the moment, I made my own bodice block just to prove I still remembered how.
I am really happy with the flower placement over the bust darts.
One has to celebrate the small victories.
The shape is based on an apron I own, made a little smaller for a seven year old. I did change the style quite a lot though. The original apron is simpler, the binding is used to make the ties, bind the sides and loops at the top to make the neck strap. I made a separate neck strap so that it is wider, and more comfortable, I also made some button holes on the strap and attached it to the apron by sewing two small buttons on the back of the apron so that it can be adjusted.

Midi skirt made of glazed cotton in a pencil silhouette. Detailed with a round neck and princess seam with contrast piping, www.dreamzonedehradun.com/fashion-design/perfectly style with structured semi linen peplum jacket.
Ok, so on a human body... the silhouette is interesting.
This skirt imo is not for a curvy body... that is, unless you have no hips. Then I think it could work.
Summer 2012 - Bonjour, my name is Tianna, and I adore fashion and the arts with an overwhelming passion. Amidst the maple trees and the beavers in Canada, you can find me huddled in my room painting, blogging, designing, putting together outfits, reading Vogue or Seventeen and just being me. And now to clear up the famous Canadian stereotypes; I do not put maple syrup on everything, nor do I ride a polar bear to school. You’ve got it all wrong, I put maple syrup on everything except broccoli, and I only ride my polar bear to the mall. On another note, I am totally and utterly obsessed with fashion. This year, I will be taking two courses everyday during Summer Live, they include HPM 067: Manual Patternmaking and Sewing along with HAD 149: Advertising and Graphics Design Portfolio.
