Product evaluation
Overall I feel that my Product turned out very well. I am very pleased with how it looks and the decoration on my garment. My final design and garment do look the same however do have some differences this is due to small issues within the making of my garment. I predicted that my garment would take 20 Hours however it took 21 hours this is because. It took me longer than I expected to Cut out my pattern pieces and cut out my fabric. Looking at my garment I can say that the seams I used was the right seams for my garment as they have helped to make my garment look as good as it does. I feel that the fabric I have used is good as it pink and summery. Also the fabric I used is cotton blend and gingham there fore the fabric is light weight which fits in with one of my specification points. My garment fits in well with my design brief and specification points as it meets most of them. My design brief stated that the garment must be suitable for a summer party and casual wear and must be cheap as my client’s mother is on a diet. I feel that my garment has met these points. Looking at my finished product it feel that if I was to make my garment again I would work more efficiently as I did not meet I expected time. Also I would change my main skirt so that it can be removed if the client gets to hot. I think that by doing its it could boost up my grade and also it would make my garment suit my specification and design brief more as my clients mother is on a budget and there fore needs a dress that would be suitable for a summer party and casual wear therefore by changing the skirt it would make the dress more suitable for this specification point. Looking at my finished garments I can see my strengths and my weaknesses; I can see that my strengths are Decoration – hand embroidery as I feel this was the part of the dress that turned out the best. Also I feel another strength was the attaching the bodice to the skirt and gathering the skirt as I feel this turn out very well. I feel a weakness of my dress is the hem as I was limited on time and therefore rushed. I feel that my hem could have turn out better if I would have been able to keep to my time limit also I feel that the slip stitching of my zip was one of my weak points I feel that this could be because I have never done slip stitching before.
