The top and scarf I made

My evaluation.

I knew when I started this project I wanted to produce fashion items, since in my previous projects my dresses were a great success. this is why I think I made a wise choice to make a scarf and a top. Using what I learned and the methods  (weaving, hand sewing and using a sewing machine)I needed to know from last year helped me to improve my stills and presentation.
The choices I made concerning the production of my top and scarf were intentional, since in a way its development from each stage of my book. l wanted to show that my research( of flowers by Georigia O'keeffe) and photographs( took by myself) were useful when making my top and scarf. This is because of the fabric I decided to use for my top contains pastel pink, deep red flowers and light green leaves on it. That is why I used this material for my top. it also has some inspiration from a artist who work with face paint( Emma Lundgren ). Then I thought with my scarf the main features would be each individual colour since they are similar to the purity of the elegant flower colours.

one of the key features on the vest I made is the image of the face. I got this from my photographs of me with flowered shaped hair and face make up.I draw a image of this photograph and made a textiles version of it. basically I stuck a photocopied version of the piece onto the material and used the sewing machine to trace out the outline. After that I got some different coloured ink (pink and purple) and coloured the picture in. then with the key details I used pink thread and hand stitched it to the face. i couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of the final product it has a fun yet presentable i feel it would wear well and be long lasting. My scarf i made was completely done on the loom and had a sequence to it and made a pattern that goes all the way down.

Step by step on how i produced it. 

first I measured the correct measurements around my waist, hips, and bust then converted them onto a fashion clothing manikin.

secondly I cut out the correct amount of fabric to use. this then lead me onto the placement of the fabric. when I found what worked best for me ( a thick strapped vest top ) I pinned it in place and started to cut the spare parts away.

so this lead me onto sewing the parts together and making sure it is wearable and well structured. Finally i put the face i created on the top and made mini features to give it style like to the rims.
