For our 3rd dress we choose a fabric that was like neoprene. It was a great fabric to work with as i found out because i liked the fact that it had a shiny and matte side i wanted to use both sides, once i had cut out the different strips i began to sew and found when sewing on the shiny side it would slip so much on the machine that it would make the strip a lot bigger than the matte strip above it.

It did this also along the neckline when i was trying to hem it, that it made a obvious pleat it then fabric, it also did this along the sleeves and again a pleat went into it, if i were to do it again i would use a teflon foot was it wouldn't let the fabric stick and i would also use a much longer zip because i thought the fabric would due more stretchy than it actually was.

I liked the sizing of all the panels i think that they made the garment look like it could be wearable of it wasn't for the mistakes with the fabric slipping.

Neoprene collection by Julian Louie S/S09 i liked how they had also uses the shiny see of neoprene which inspired me to use the shiny and matte sides and also how there were different panels to make up the garment.
