Toile Presentation

I have presented my first toile on Friday 23^rd and it went quite well, the majority of the alterations, I already expected them, as when I started to put the outfit together I noticed.

Jacket

-add 1 cm to sleeve head, there wasn’t enough space and the sleeve was tight.

-add 1cm to sleeve top arm hole, this to give the jacket a more boyfriend look, so the armhole drops more from the shoulder instead of being on the shoulder line.

-Pleats need to be top stitched to keep them in place or either put a panel on the back of them.

- Back Collar was too narrow, for that reason a 1cm extra is being added.

-Back looks loose, making a wave appear, for that reason the back seams are adjusted, only on the waist level.

-looking at the toile I have decided to make the sleeves narrower all over, as my model is skinny and I don’t want the jacket to look big on her. I want a boyfriend style but not a child trying mum’s clothes look.

Trousers

-Waist band is missing 2 cm long, so need to add it to be able to cover the trousers waist

-Add a button panel on the front of trousers this will be 3cm wide, because of this the 3cm extra will be added to the waistband.

-the hem will be narrower and will be cropped by 12 cm.

-the same as the jacket, the pleats will be top stitched.
