My fitting for Fashion School🫶
This was the fit model for my Sport-wear class! She is wearing my Yoruba/ Post Apocalyptic Design, my Nigerian inspired top, and Burberry inspired pants. This is just a sample garment which means it was made out of muslin! This fitting session helped me to see what I needed to adjust on the patterns I made for the model🙌🏾📏 There were 2 overall fittings to ensure that I adjusted the sample garment correctly🙌🏾❣️
Fittings play a crucial role in the fashion design process, allowing designers to see how their patterns come to life on a model. The importance of using sample garments, such as muslin, cannot be overstated; they provide a flexible medium for adjustments without the commitment of final fabric. In this particular fitting, I showcased my Yoruba/Post Apocalyptic design, which reflects a blend of cultural inspiration and modern aesthetics. The model wore a Nigerian-inspired top paired with Burberry-style pants, emphasizing the mix of traditional and contemporary fashion styles. During the fitting, I took note of the adjustments needed to perfect the fit of the garments. Multiple fittings are often necessary to ensure every detail aligns with the intended design, which can be a meticulous but rewarding process. As I reflected on this fitting session, I realized how vital it is to maintain clear communication with the model regarding comfort and fit preferences. Engaging in discussions about adjustments not only enhances the fit but also builds a collaborative atmosphere, crucial for a successful design outcome. By sharing this experience with you, I hope to inspire fellow fashion students and enthusiasts to embrace the fitting process as an integral part of fashion design, encouraging experimentation and adaptation in their creative journeys.
