Trousers Pattern For the trousers, I used a standard size 10 trouser block which I traced around. I then measured around the bottom of my leg and ankle measuring 25cm, this I then halved to 12.5cm. I then added the front of my trousers 17.1c, and the back 19.6cm with the difference being 12cm. I then divided that by 4, with the outcome being that I had to take 3cm off and so I therefore had to take 1.5cm off each side. This I then squared up to the top to give my trousers a skinny finish and extended the leg by 8cm so it would be slightly rushed. I also used a fly font pattern for the fastening. I then added a 1cm seam allowance and traced off my pattern.

Garment 1 For the bodice of the garment, I used a standard size 10 bodice block which I then traced around. I then squared up the shoulders by 4cm to give them a more structured look once made up. I moved my dart to the neckline and made it a seam as with using leather it would be far too bulky. For the skirt, I first matched the pattern up to the bottom of my bodice so that it would be a full dress rather than being a seam. I then squared down 101cm from the waist for the length. I the worked out I had to take 7cm off each side at the bottom and square the up to the hip line and I wanted my dress to be fitted in the extreme. For this reason I also had to draw in a vent. I then measured 7cm for my straps and down each as 5cm with that measurement in-between. For my sleeve I traced around a a standard size 10 sleeve block and extended it to 70cm and tapered it in by 26cm to the elbow line and 16cm to the wrist. For the over sleeve, I used a circle pattern; a strip 19cm by 9cm as I found after testing on a mannequin that this way it sat better.

Garment 2 For garment 2, I used the basic pattern that I had created for garment 1 however the would only have one set of sleeves instead of two. For the skirt of the garment I wanted to give it a rushed affect and so I cut and opened the skirt 6 times each being 4cm wide. I then extended the neckline by 6cm and shaped it in for the polar neck. I then added a 1cm seam allowance to both patterns and cut them out.

 

Week  Three  -­‐  Jackets  

Jacket 1 For Jacket 1, I traced around a standard size Large goal keepers shirt for the oversized look. I then squared up the shoulders by 4cm as I wanted them to also by structured and exaggerated. I then had to trace off two front and two backs and lay them side by side and I wanted an asymmetric finish to the bottom. From 13.5cm on one side I then squared across to the original bottom of the other side to give me this affect. I the drew around the standard size large goal keepers sleeve block and using the measurements taken from my the sleeves of my dresses, I tapered them in. I the drew in were my zips would be, for which on one side I would use separate pattern pieces and the other I would use zip inserts. I then drew in where I wanted my lapel to be which I wanted to be oversized for an exaggerated affect.

Jacket 2 For Jacket 2, I traced around the front and back of a standard size large goal keepers shirt again for the oversized look. I then squared up the shoulders by 4cm as again I wanted them to look structured and exaggerated. I the drew around the standard size large goal keepers sleeve block and using the measurements taken from my the sleeves of my dresses, I tapered them in. I drew in where I wanted my lapels to be as well as from this drawing in where my straps would be, which I made 6cm in depth and had a 3cm space between each one. I then added a 1cm seam allowance to both patterns and cut out my pattern pieces.
