Button

 Hi everyone, Recently, my team and I but a button into the dress because we have been struggling to get the dress onto the model - when we try putting it on her it's really hard but when it's on her it slips back down. The button has been quite a good fix and we are hoping for the best and that there are no more problems before the due date.  The button works well, and this has helped our model and made it easier for her to walk and get it on and off. I think this will greatly improve the dress.  We also cut some gold fabric and they resemble gloves. We are unsure if we are going to use it or not. We are still unsure about a lot of things with the dress.

Challenges - Running out of Time

 Hi all, Our Eco-Fashion adventure is due this FRIDAY! So with the nerves and all we are very stressed especially because we have half the dress to go and lots of current obstacles like how we are going to piece it all together. We also have lots of problems such as still not having enough white fabric for the dress. Luckily for us we have had access to a mannequin which has helped with the designing. We have established a fabulous skirt and are planning currently on adding a button (or more!) Unfortunately, our sowing machine hasn't been working and that has been a slight problem. Some of the things that are going really well is that all the skirt layers are still looking fabulous and there have been zero rips and tears. The skirt has been fitting the model, but we are planning to add the button to make sure it fits the model even better.

Update - Progress

Hi everyone,  The skirt has been finished, and we've incorporated all the layers. We are still working on the top part of the dress. We are currently debating whether or not to add buttons because the skirt fits our model but if we are going to sow both parts together it would most likely be necessary to add buttons. We were given an extremely useful hour and a half to work on our garment on Friday, which helped us complete the skirt and start the top of the dress. We have been contemplating whether and/or how to stitch the two pieces together, and we have been enjoying the challenges as it has given us the chance to learn more and practice our problem-solving skills.

Challenge/Problems

 Hi all, Our first problem was that we recently encountered a slight problem of cutting the dress for the waist to wide.  Our second problem was that we didn't have enough poof which also led to our third problem. Our third problem was that we are unable to access a lot of white material especially because it has to be reused so we can't just buy stuff from shops.  Our solution for the second and third problem was to just not use as much white and use other colors as layers for under the dress to maximize the dress' 'poof'.
