Lady gaga wore a latex dress made by Atsuko Kudo, a designer known for making garments from latex and rubber materials, i wanted to look into there work because there pieces are extremely feel made from such a difficult fabric. They have a shop in London which would be really interesting to visit to see how they finish there garments, and how they are sewn.

I also realised the skirt didn't match up at the back this could have been to do with the fact i didn't use a pattern to create the skirt, so the lengths on each side could have been slightly different, it also could be down to when i was sewing the garment the fabric was difficult to manoeuvre.

The zip again was difficult to do because of the fabric because it didn't turn over to conceal the stitching, i learnt from last week how to put a zip in better however with the fabric being clear it mean you could still see the top half and bottom half of the zip. I feel as though if i did it again, i wouldnt say it is the fabric to use for a zip but maybe using eyelets as they would sit in the fabric better.

One of the front darts, when back stitching to hold the stitches in place is visibly seen as the fabric is clear.

I wanted to create a simple dress because the fabric pvc fabric was very difficult to work with, i learnt from using a normal foot on the machine, it would catch as it was sticking to the fabric, i then realise i needed to to use the teflon foot, which meant it wouldn't stick.

I used the bodice block to create the top half because it was the first time i had made anything that i wanted to fit and i wanted it to be simple so that i could actually make it.
The hardest part was creating the skirt because i wanted it to contain pleats, the fabric was very thick to sew over so in parts it wasn't very straight. I wanted to make the top half slightly more fitted so i put darts into the bottom half, they weren't as difficult as i first presumed however with the fabric being see through, any mistakes made could be clearly seen.
