For those not aware, or new to blog (welcome!), I've been working on inaugural pieces for a vintage-inspired fashion line.
If I had some photos of the dress samples to show you I would, but I was far too absorbed in the process of critiquing the samples with industry peers, and as such, forgot to take any!
Upon looking at the silhouette of each piece, they look stunning, which is positive. On close inspection, though, a few errors were found.
Between you and I, the samples I made could have been better (and will be next time). I also should have made a spec sheet outlining seam allowances, finish and hem measurements, but I was rushed for time (that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it).
A sample is always critiqued before production, and errors are always found, therefore I'm trying not to be too hard on myself.
Now that I have a better idea of where I'm at in terms of production, I'm not sure the clothes will be ready for the Adelaide Vintage Expo at the end of the month. Instead, I'm aiming for just 2 or 3 units of one or two designs or none at all. I'd rather have something done properly than have it rushed and made poorly.
I'll be visiting my manufacturing friends again next week to see how everything is going and perhaps this time I'll remember to take some photos.
Cheery,
Jason
