My 1st project at university, complete!

Just a basic shirt with a shirt dress placket.

Ok, so here's some photos of my cropped shirt!

Throughout the past few weeks in construction workshops

we've gone through steps of making different parts of the shirt.

Left: collar and front shirt placket with buttonholes.

Right: symmetrical darts in the back of the shirt.

Left: welt seam on the shoulder with slight gathers in the sleeve head.

Right: continuous shirt placket.

Left: side view of the garment.

Right: lap seam on the side and bust dart to the front of the shirt.

View of the shirt from the front.

I have now gone on to constuct my final shirt where I am going to include

french seams and shirt dress plackets. The theme is monochrome and I have chosen

to use black, grey, white and striped fabric!

Below image is of my pattern pieces for the bodice of my dress (outfit 1)

layed out onto a heavyweight red wool fabric.

It still has a lot of work to be done to it, this is just an update to show you how

I'm getting on with everything!
