Reflection 1: Shape and Fit

Cutting the pattern on the stand was an important part of this unit for me, as I have not yet used this method to produce a costume. Doing it has helped me to understand the shaping of garments to the body more and I think my first fitting showed how, for me, it can result in a better fitting garment to begin with.

I thought my toile fitting was successful and I believe that using a body form all the way along helped me to then see which alterations needed to be made for an improved fit to my model. I was able to do this independently and my confidence in using stand cutting has improved and marks my progression.
