Reflection

Reflect on the process of making this project. What did you learn? What would you do differently?

If I could redo this project, I would definitely have picked an easier fabric to work with for my first project. The fabrics were very hard to deal with and a lot of the problems I encountered were related to the two fabrics not staying together correctly. I definitely would have started off with the dress hanging up or on a dress form rather than lying flat on a table. I would have also used an elastic waistband rather than trying to sew an encasing, as the fabric would have stuck better to the elastic waistband. I also would have cut the two fabrics separately, fit the fabric better to my waist, and then reattached them at the very end.
