At the bottom of the vest you can see where I haven't pressed shift to draw a straight line when constructing it, this should be straight all the way across.
My second attempt
When creating these drawings I need to work on getting the shape right and getting it into proportion! And not designing them for rugby players
The fabric I have chose to the make the Giles Deacon dress is a purple taffeta, Its really pretty in different lights as sometimes it looks purple, pink or even blue! I think it will be great for the photo shoot.
First of all I laid out the pattern pieces on the fabric
Because the good sides and bad sides of the fabric weren't obvious I have to make the wrong side visible with tailors chalk
Adding in the dart. There is a really small tricky one which is above the seam allowance at the bottom of the pattern peice and you cant go over the edge which really took some patience to do
Over locking of the two sides
Then attaching the two sides with a 1cm seam allowance
We then had to carry out the task of adding in the bodice panels, which really confused me at times and I really had to concentrate and think about! Once I have done this task I few times Im sure it will come to me a lot more naturaly
Over locking all the raw edges after the bodice was complete
Once the garment was constructed up to this stage it needed to e pressed on the iron making sure all the edges were pressed in the right places
London Fashion Week is quickly coming around and S/S 13 shows have already started! Up to now Frendi's collection is my favourite with its pops of colour on neutrals really takes my fancy.
Sienna Miller was recently a guest on Jonathan Ross' chat show and she got it very very right. The dress was from the Peter Pilotto S/S 2013 collection and its just amazing, the colours are strong girly colours teamed with black. The pattern conveys a bejewelled like look and Sienna teamed the dress with just some simple classic nude heels and a simple make up look which meant the dress was the main feature and she just looked amazing.
Ok so yes this woman is very hit and miss in my eyes, one minute I love her the next she's everywhere and Im sick of her but nobody can deny just amazing she is when it comes to style. She is a woman of anything, one week she can pull off a pixie chop then the next she can pull off bright red curl locks. When if comes to clothing I think her personality shines through which is what fashion is all about. Rihanna's latest wow factor outfits were the leather trousers she's wore in Germany and the white dress she wore at the X Factor Final, I actually want that dress. The detail on it is just incredible and I love the patch work of the fabric. She is an icon in herself and her choice of clothing will carry on wowing us for years to come.
With Christmas advert being shown almost everywhere I thought I would look into one more than just watching it on TV. Usually I probably would have chosen the Coca Cola advert because that defines christmas adverts but no, I wanted to be different and chose a not so popular one. I thought the M&S one was a good example as it has a few different scenes throughout and tells a good story but is know where near as soppy as the John Lewis advert (my mum cried watching it.....).
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
The first scene shows a range of women- All different ages chucking snow balls which would usually be the children doing so it kind of represents fun and youth. They are all wearing different wooly jumpers and a range of knitwear, the clothing colours are all shown to be Christmasy and of course red!! The background is shown to be set in a park that has snow covered all over which is obviously were there got the snow balls from (durrr).
Mr Big Stuff
This scene shows office wear- which makes you think you need to make a good effort to be stylish and set a good example at christmas. They are shown to all be wearing heels and lipstick which could suggest they are treating work like a party because its bright and bold lipstick. The colours are shown to be pink which could apply that the women are bosses when it comes to Christmas. there is only one male shown and he could represent the boss figure and the women need to impress him as he looks as if he is he looking at them. the last clip in this scene looks as if the women are walking out which could suggest they are going home and not working anymore over Christmas and are going out to party e.g. the works christmas doo.
I Need You Tonight
In this scene the woman are ready to go out and party!!! The age range if woman show that they are ready to go out and party, there clothes are shown to be stylish and modern but still right for all there ages. Christmas is about the parties!
Lady Marmalade
Pyjamas, you cant go wrong with especially around christmas. Comfy and stylish are shown to be here and of course there all red and white which is super cute for Christmas! The women are shown t be having fun jumping about then the last shot of them is going on to stand powerful but show tiredness as well as if they have had a busy time.
Celebration
It then goes on to a new scene showing nothing but kids celebrating and dancing along! This remind me of a school disco or almost like they have skipped along and jumped to new years and as if they are at a party celebrating. There shown to all be dress smart and stylish but still showing the (I'm a child I need something cute and comfy) look. The gold background suggests to me money and wealth, which could mean Christmas is an expensive time but still M&S is affordable.
They defiantly cater for there huge target market that M&S have in this advert, this is done by using the range of different aged people through out. Really think this advert works well and covers a lot of events that take place over Christmas and shows that the company overs everything you need over the festive period, you cant beat a M&S Christmas and I cant wait for my Christmas dinner. p.s I like M&S percy pigs... hint hint p.ss Did you guess all the songs?!
