CREATING MY INVISIBLE PANTS...

I have now progressed onto creating my invisible pants which are paired with the "Frowning top" and "Senseless jacket". By making up these trousers I realised the frowning top had been made in a fabric choice that didn't complement the colour scheme of the trousers. To make this work I changed the two centre front panels and centre back panels to the same fabric used for the trousers and will also add additional circles that are seen in the side panels of the trousers onto the front of the bodice. I feel that my trousers have been a huge success and were simple compared to the other garments I still have to construct. I feel more confident with the second attempt at the bodice matched with the trousers rather the first attempt. What are your views on the bodice like the first or second attempt?

LOOKING AT MY COLLECTION AS WHOLE...

After completing all of my toiles I pieces all the outfits together to see how they looked as a whole. I realised that the coat and jacket and trousers use similar deign lines so complement each other. Also the evening dress and the jumpsuit also complement each other with the use of the diagonal lines. I am really pleased with how they look and hopefully they should look better all in the same colour range and correctly constructed.

TOILING MY INVISIBLE PANTS...

My second to last toile, I have completed was my Invisible Pants, which are a pair of trousers with curved panels down the side seams. I found these one of the most easiest toile's yet, so I don't know whether they are easy, or it's because I have had much practise in getting these right. Surprisingly, I didn't have any problems with the main trouser panels and attaching them together, the only difficulty I had was creating the waistband and remembering all the little things you need to do to get a success. I have to remember when doing my final garment, not to press my seams open, as I realised this when my curved lines weren't as smooth as they should have been. On the toile there is an unwanted dart in the back, which I have now removed, so for the final garment it won't be there, which will make it look neater in the back.
