Year 2 Tailoring Processes: Week 1

Range of hems in calico


During the first week i learned a range of different hem samples some i hand sewed and some were machined based hem samples. By learning hand sewn and machine hem samples enabled me to learn new sewing skills which i would used when producing my final tailored jacket to a high standard. These range of hems i've produced have been placed together in a file to help me with hems in the future, as a personal learning book ive produced to help me.

Shop Report


Lower Middle Market

For the lower middle market level shop report i looked at H&M and New look. Through not taking and observational sketches i was recording and comparing the production used in order to make these tailored garments. 

Middle Market



For the middle market level i looked at Zara and Next focusing on the type of materials used, key detail and the type of machinery involved to produce these tailored garments.


Upper Middle Market



For the upper middle market i looked at Reiss and All Saints. There silhouettes were very simply and toned down. Its all about the quality and materials with key detail such as pocket or button details that bring the garment together as you can see.


YPH Research


These are some of research pages from when i visited the Yorkshire Play House costume department. By looking at a wide range of garments with key detail enable me to think of how i could interpret some key detail into my tailored jacket designs. The way key detail has been used to bring the garment together, the type of button holes, trimmings, materials and production is what makes the garment different.
