Today I carried on making my long sleeve pencil dress toile. Once I put what I had made so far on the mannequin, I realised that I had sewn the front of the waistband upside down, so I unpicked it and sewed it the right way. It now fit nicely to the mannequin, and I asked one of the second year students to try it on so that I could see it on a person. When it was on her, me and Nicky had a look and noticed that front bodice needed a centimetre taking out at the neckline so I altered my pattern. I had also gathered one side of the bust and sewn a dart into the other, so I could see which I preferred. I decided I will gather the bust on my final garment. I also created and attached a sleeve which went fine. In the afternoon, I started my tea dress pattern. I wanted to try and be independent with it and attempted the top section alone but then Nicky had to give me a few pointers. I plan to finish this tomorrow. 

I also scanned in my fabric swatches to put on my design sheets. I printed one out to see how it looked but it came out as a completely different colour than it looked on the computer. I plan to test this again tomorrow and see how it comes out.

March 21st 2015 – Video found

The photographer Kate Love sent me the video from the shoot! It seems it had been found. I really love it! It shows all sides of the shoot from the location, the makeup being done, the photography being set up and the model in action. I’m really impressed and so happy that it turned up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY91zhvhtBk&feature=youtu.be

March 19th 2015 – Missing video

Kate Love messaged me today saying the photographer has unfortunately lost / accidentally deleted the video footage. I’m quite upset about this as it would have been a really nice extra to have but I’m really pleased with the quality of the pictures so it’s not too bad.

March 17th 2015 – Pictures

Today Kate Love (the photographer) sent me all of the edited images from the photoshoot and the unedited images too! They all look stunning and I’m planning on having a go at editing some of the unedited ones for my look book too. 

March 11th 2015 – Update

I messaged Kate Love asking for an update on when the video might be ready but she told me they had both been ill so it hasn’t been edited yet.

March 3rd 2015 – First image

The photographer Kate Love sent me the first edited picture. I’m amazingly impressed and shared it online. It got brilliant feedback and I can’t wait to see the other images.
