IA ProjectThe independent project (IA project) is where the student can choose a project that can go in any direction. The purpose for it is to choose something you want to learn more about and make it happen. This project has to be viable, feasible, and has to show that it is something challenging for you to do.
I have always been very interested in fashion, but never have had the chance to take it seriously to see if I wanted to go any further with the interest, which is why I decided that for my independent project I would make a dress. It wasn't just choosing a kind of dress that you see everyday; it was a 50’s dress because I absolutely love the way dresses and overall clothes were at that time. With this project I met my expert and she helped me along the way. I also did some personal research to gain more knowledge on what fashion design is. Thanks to this project I was able to make this interest a hobby that I love doing, and might even want to pursue in the long term. |
So far...
I am continuing with my research I need to do for my process journal.
I have met up with my expert that I need to guide through my process of making the dress. I have bought the materials I need for my dress and now during the summer, as she's asked me I will practice doing my dress patterns so I can later on make dresses on my own. |
Final Product
After many prototypes and hard work, I was able to learn different sewing techniques. I began with the mold and continued with different type of fabrics and was abel to creat three copies of the same dress with "Tocuyo" the cheap fabric, and two of the same dresses with different types of cotton fabric with a more elaborated and difficult finish.
