Skirt Clothing & Fashion - Sewn Garment Kaydi Zoske Hardin County Tipton-Grant Toppers 6th Grade - Junior Member Class #10420 2nd Year in Project Goal - I wanted to sew something to wear. It has to be comfortable, be worn with different things in my closet and fun. Steps -I looked on the internet for ideas and found a skirt I liked on the website Elle Apparel. -Next I chose fabric. I found some that I liked at Walmart. It’s called “Cotton Span”. The fabric contents are 68% polyester, 27% cotton and 5% spandex. The fabric feels like soft t- shirt material which makes it very comfortable. -I then cut out the fabric pieces according to the directions listed using my waist measurement (24 inches) as a guide on the size of the pattern pieces and waistband. -The front had one large pleat in the middle with 2 small pleats on each side. The back had 2 inverted pleats. I needed the front and back to be exactly 13 ½ inches at the waist which allowed for ½ side seam allowance (2 inches total) and 1 extra inch for ease in getting the skirt on and off. It took several times of measuring to center all the pleats and make sure the front and back were right. -Now I was ready to sew the front and back together. I first basted them together and tried on the skirt before permantly sewing them. -For the waistband I cut 4 pieces, 13 ½ inches in length and 3 ½ inches in width. Elastic was stretched and sewn in for added comfort and fit. -The final step was the hem. I sewed 2 rows of stitching to give it a more finished look. -With the leftover material I made a matching headband. I love wearing headbands and think it completes the outfit. I like how the skirt turned out. It is very comfortable and can be worn for many different occasions. I can wear it this summer with t-shirts or the white shirt in the pictures. When the weather gets cooler I can wear it with a black shirt and sweater and flats. Cost of the Skirt: Pattern Free ⅞ yard fabric $6.12 Notions $1.00 Total Cost: $7.12 Learned -The internet is a great place to find sewing projects and free patterns. -I learned how to sew a skirt. -The fabric used for my skirt was easy to sew. -It is important to measure correctly for cutting out pattern pieces. -The pleats needed to be measured right or the skirt wouldn’t look right. -I basted the side seams and tried the skirt on first. The waist was too big so I had to adjust it. -The elastic sewn in the waistband helped it fit right and make it more comfortable. Future I want to continue sewing clothes. I think it’s fun picking out a pattern and fabric and then finishing it into something I can wear. Next year I would like to make matching outfits for my three younger cousins. Design Elements Color - The hue is gray. The intensity is dull. Line - The waistband is horizontal but the pleats give it vertical lines. Texture - smooth Shape - squarish Design Principles Rhythm - The eyes move from top to bottom with the pleats. Proportion - The solid color makes it whole. Balance - Symmetrical, both sides are the same. Emphasis - The pleats create emphasis. Unity - The solid color gives it unity.

Picnic Skirt FREE YOUTUBE TUTORIAL © 2020 Charm Patterns by Gertie SEWING INSTRUCTIONS NOTES: This style can be made for any size child or adult, as long as you know the waist measurement, how long you want the skirt, and how full you want the skirt. I used 4 yards of width, which results in a big, full skirt with lots of gathers packed in. You can easily use a shorter yardage of fabric if you prefer fewer gathers or you’re making the skirt for a smaller person or child. Seam Finishing: all raw edges are fully enclosed in the construction process, so there is no need for seam finishing.

Business Professional Dress Code
Business Professional Dress Code The way you dress can play a big role in your professional career. Part of the culture of a company is the dress code of its employees. Some companies prefer a business casual approach, while other companies require a business professional dress code. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR MEN Men should wear business suits if possible; however, blazers can be worn with dress slacks or nice khaki pants. Wearing a tie is a requirement for men in a business professional dress code. Sweaters worn with a shirt and tie are an option as well. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR WOMEN Women should wear business suits or skirt-and-blouse combinations. Women adhering to the business professional dress code can wear slacks, shirts and other formal combinations. Women dressing for a business professional dress code should try to be conservative. Revealing clothing should be avoided, and body art should be covered. Jewelry should be conservative and tasteful. COLORS AND FOOTWEAR When choosing color schemes for your business professional wardrobe, it's advisable to stay conservative. Wear "power" colors such as black, navy, dark gray and earth tones. Avoid bright colors that attract attention. Men should wear dark‐colored dress shoes. Women can wear heels or flats. Women should avoid open‐toe shoes and strapless shoes that expose the heel of the foot. GOOD HYGIENE Always practice good hygiene. For men adhering to a business professional dress code, this means good grooming habits. Facial hair should be either shaved off or well groomed. Clothing should be neat and always pressed.

A New Method of Classification for Tai Textiles
A New Method of Classification for Tai Textiles Patricia Cheesman Textiles, as part of Southeast Asian traditional clothing and material culture, feature as ethnic identification markers in anthropological studies. Textile scholars struggle with the extremely complex variety of textiles of the Tai peoples and presume that each Tai ethnic group has its own unique dress and textile style. This method of classification assumes what Leach calls “an academic fiction … that in a normal ethnographic situation one ordinarily finds distinct tribes distributed about the map in an orderly fashion with clear-cut boundaries between them” (Leach 1964: 290). Instead, we find different ethnic Tai groups living in the same region wearing the same clothing and the same ethnic group in different regions wearing different clothing. For example: the textiles of the Tai Phuan peoples in Vientiane are different to those of the Tai Phuan in Xiang Khoang or Nam Nguem or Sukhothai. At the same time, the Lao and Tai Lue living in the same region in northern Vietnam weave and wear the same textiles. Some may try to explain the phenomena by calling it “stylistic influence”, but the reality is much more profound. The complete repertoire of a people’s style of dress can be exchanged for another and the common element is geography, not ethnicity. The subject of this paper is to bring to light forty years of in-depth research on Tai textiles and clothing in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos), Thailand and Vietnam to demonstrate that clothing and the historical transformation of practices of social production of textiles are best classified not by ethnicity, but by geographical provenance.

She may have attractive under- wear if she is wise in the selection of materials and careful in making it or in choosing ready-made garments. It is not the amount of money that one spends so much as it is good judgment in the choice of styles, materials and trimmings. No matter how beautiful or appropriate a girl's outer garments may be, she is not well dressed unless she has used good judgment in making or selecting her under - wear.

Business Casual Attire
Business Casual Attire For All Marketing Courses above MKT 230, All BTE courses BTE 260 and above. The Department of Marketing's objective in establishing a dress code is to enable students to project a professional image while still experiencing the comfort advantages of more casual and relaxed clothing. Not all casual clothing is suitable for the classroom, so these guidelines will help you determine what is appropriate to wear. Clothing that works well for the beach, yard work, dance clubs, exercise sessions, and sports contests are not appropriate for a professional appearance. Below is a general overview of what we mean by “acceptable business casual attire.” Items that are not appropriate for the classroom are listed, too. Neither list is all-inclusive and both are open to change. The lists tell you what is generally acceptable as business casual attire and what is generally not acceptable as business casual attire. No dress code can cover all contingencies so students must apply a certain amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear to Department of Marketing classes. If you experience uncertainty about acceptable, professional business casual attire for your class, please ask your professor or stop by the Marketing office (352 COB Building) to discuss this with the department chairperson. Clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled. Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing is unacceptable. All seams must be finished. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive and/or create a hostile environment for other students is unacceptable. A general guideline for business casual attire for women includes: • Khaki, corduroy, twill or cotton pants or skirts, neatly pressed; • Sweaters, twinsets, cardigans, polo/knit shirts, tailored blouses; • Solid colors work better than bright patterns.

Fashion Terminology Today Describe Your Heritage Collections with an Eye on the Future
Fashion Terminology Today Describe your heritage collections with an eye on the future Ykje Wildenborg MoMu – Fashion Museum of the Province of Antwerp, Belgium Europeana Fashion, Modemuze Abstract: This article was written for ‘non-techy people’, or people with a basic knowledge of information technology, interested in preparing their fashion heritage metadata for publication online. Publishing fashion heritage on the web brings about the undisputed need for a shared vocabulary, especially when merged. This is not only a question of multilingualism. Between collections and even within collections different words have been used to describe, for example, the same types of objects, materials or techniques. In professional language: the data often is “unclean”. Linked Data is the name of a development in information technology that could prove useful for fashion collecting institutions. It means that the descriptions of collections, in a computer readable format, have a structure that is extremely easy for the device to read. As alien as it may sound, Linked Data practices are already used by the data departments of larger museums, companies and governmental institutions around the world. It eliminates the need for translation or actual changing of the content of databases. It only concerns ‘labeling’ of terms in databases with an identifier. With this in mind, MoMu, the fashion museum of Antwerp, Belgium, is carrying out a termi- nology project in Flanders and the Netherlands, in order to motivate institutions to accomplish the task of labeling their terms. This article concludes with some of the experiences of this adventure, but firstly elucidates the context of the situation.
