JUMPSUIT JOURNEY

For my jumpsuit ideas I had successfully construct a silhouette based on Renaissance. I designed my jumpsuit inspired by the 16th century costumes. The costumes in those period were very flamboyant with larger than life frilled collars with big volume puffy sleeves and I wanted to incorporate that into my own concept. We had to make changes to a basic jumpsuit so I made few alteration starting from the neckline by having big frilled collars with mandarin collar and press stud underneath at the back. The centre front is a raglan sleeves with elastic waist. I also changed the back into bodice style with invisible zip fastening. 
    For past few weeks, we have been busy with pattern cutting exercise using basic suit block pattern. I found it quite tough at the beggining when I had to manipulate the shape even though my jumpsuit design was in front of me because pattern cutting is still a new experience for me even though we made the shirt on our last semester. I found the task quite challenging as I had to make so many alteration and I felt nervous thinking I will make mistakes despite the tutors walking around eager to help . Nevertheless I was just glad i managed to finish the whole jumpsuit pattern in one day which was an achievement for someone who works quite slow. I am excited to see the final outcome and actually enjoying pushing myself everyday with new challenges waiting ahead of me.
