When choosing our client we had to examine their silhouette, and body dimensions to dichipher which areas of the dress form would require padding. I ended up choosing Lupita Nyong'o as my client.

When it came to the skirt I wanted it to be straight up and down. While also coming up in the back.

This was my first time doing a peplum so I was worried about the structual integrity not being in place. We weren't allowed to use bonining for it only the corset.

The bodice was interesting for me. I've draped plenty of bodices before but this was my first draping over an internal corset. which it came out nice.

Machine sewing everything together was the simple part of porduction, because I make sure to check all my patern pieces are notched and notched correctly.

The cascade wasn't originally in the design. The original Idea was to slice and spread the skirt in eight equal parts to give flowy fullness around the edges. However after discussing with my professor she suggested I use spiral half circles to sew together to make the cascade.

The only tricky part of the peplum was choosing the right interfacing for it. Not too light to where it just flops around. Not too stiff and heavy to where it doesn't move. I need an interfacing that would hold it's shape, and be movable. The stylines and silohouette were inspired by the snail house by famous Mexican Architect Javier Senosiain.

After pressing the skirt with careful consideration. I was delighted to see the skirt set and flowed beautifully.

I would say due to the time frame this module was the most challenging. However I learned so much in relation to draping and fitting a corset. I obtained the goal as well which was ton hold up my dress with an internal corset.
