The focus of the last few weeks has been on the development of toiles and beginning to manufacture our final garments. I am responsible for 3 garments: 2 pairs of wide leg corduroy trousers (one black and one maroon), and one Kimono Coat.
To develop the trousers, I made various alterations to the ‘casual trouser’ basic block. I dropped the crotch, widened the leg, lowered the waist and added two deep reverse pleats on the front of the trouser. The back of the trouser features a jet pocket on the right leg, and darts at the top of each leg. The jets on the pocket of the black corduroy trousers are in a contrast fabric, with a pattern which we created and printed. This printed fabric also features on the binding of the inside waistband and pocket. To develop the Kimono coat, various alterations were made to the casual jacket block. The sleeve was dropped to create a kimono sleeve, a collar was added, and the centre front was altered to create a kimono silhouette. The length was dropped to below the knee and a vent was added to the back to create a cross between a kimono and a tailored coat. Jet pockets have been added to the inside breast of the jacket. Top-stitched square patch pockets with semi circles inside have been added to the outside of the jacket. The top-stitching is a contrast green against the black twill wool blend fabric. This contrast green colour is carried through to the lining. I have finished both pairs of trousers in final fabric, and I hope to have the kimono coat finished by the end of the week. Thanks for reading, Issy.
