This handbook has been compiled with information to help you with your programme of study. A mini lexicon of fashion and textile terms will help you develop a fashion vocabulary, the resource guide is there to help in your quest for supplies and materials for your projects and, finally, a listing of internet sites is there to help you connect with fashion information and resources throughout the world. The year ahead at CAFD is like no other. It is a year that will surely fascinate, fatigue, excite, crush, exhilarate, disappoint, push you to your limits and, most importantly, take you one small step closer to your dreams. And yes, there will be times when you feel used and abused, overwhelmed and overworked. And though you may not appreciate it right away, all of this will help you to develop a critical eye and a professional discipline which will make you a valuable asset to the local and international marketplace. The year ahead will be a rewarding one....but at a price. Time, a precious and fleeting commodity, will seem in short supply over the next several months. Making the best of what little time there is to complete your studies is crucial to your success. The work load is intense and at times, the deadlines will seem short and brutal. However if you learn to manage your time, you will reap the benefits of all there is to learn and get the most of the coming year. Tips for Managing Your Time During the Year to Come Make a List 3 If you tend to put things off until later, you're losing time. When you're disorganized, you rush, and as a result, you make more mistakes, you forget things, stress out. Make a list of all of your tasks and goals for this semester. This includes your classes, activities, and job responsibilities. Chart your tasks Next, buy whatever calendar or organizer suits you. Anything will work, from a day planner, a wall calendar, a calendar program on your computer. Make a note of your project deadlines, exams, exceptional events and schedules on your calendar. Holidays and social events should be mapped out all the way to the end of the semester. Next, prioritize your laundry list of tasks. For example, your number one task would be "A" in Design Studio or Marketing class. Plot Your Time After you've prioritized these tasks, take each one separately and estimate how long it will take you to accomplish. If you want that A, you'll need to get an A on almost every project. Look at project deadlines and estimate how many hours you'll need to execute it perfectly. Once you estimate the time it will take, double it because things usually take twice as long as you anticipate, AND accidents do happen. So give yourself plenty of time to complete each task. Looking at the deadlines on your calendar, work backwards, blocking out the time you've estimated for each task. Do this day by day, week by week. Break stretches of time into smaller chunks you can handle. Take a Break From time to time, schedule breaks from studying to give your mind and body a rest. Get up. Go for a walk. Listen to music. Watch a little TV. Have a snack. You’ll feel refreshed and ready to continue on with your homework. Be Good to Yourself If you have a problem getting or staying motivated for school work, set up a system of rewards that works for you. If you hate sewing, do that homework first, then treat yourself with your favorite subject last and have a piece of fruit or a dish of ice cream as an extra treat. As you get more in tune with your schedule, you'll discover your weaknesses and will figure out how to overcome them. Then you'll begin to use your strengths to your own advantage. You'll learn to juggle priorities so that everything gets done on time and to the best of your ability. 4 FASHION TERMS SILHOUETTES Long torso.

  • I Was Tempted by a Pretty Coloured Muslin
    “I was tempted by a pretty y y coloured muslin”: Jane Austen and the Art of Being Fashionable MARY HAFNER-LANEY Mary Hafner-Laney is an historic costumer. Using her thirty-plus years of trial-and-error experience, she has given presentations and workshops on how women of the past dressed to historical societies, literary groups, and costuming and re-enactment organizations. She is retired from the State of Washington . E E plucked that first leaf o ff the fig tree in the Garden of Eden and decided green was her color, women of all times and all places have been interested in fashion and in being fashionable. Jane Austen herself wrote , “I beleive Finery must have it” (23 September 1813) , and in Northanger Abbey we read that Mrs. Allen cannot begin to enjoy the delights of Bath until she “was provided with a dress of the newest fashion” (20). Whether a woman was like Jane and “so tired & ashamed of half my present stock that I even blush at the sight of the wardrobe which contains them ” (25 December 1798) or like the two Miss Beauforts in Sanditon , who required “six new Dresses each for a three days visit” (Minor Works 421), dress was a problem to be solved. There were no big-name designers with models to show o ff their creations. There was no Project Runway . There were no department stores or clothing empori - ums where one could browse for and purchase garments of the latest fashion. How did a woman achieve a stylish appearance? Just as we have Vogue , Elle and In Style magazines to keep us up to date on the most current styles, women of the Regency era had The Ladies Magazine , La Belle Assemblée , Le Beau Monde , The Gallery of Fashion , and a host of other publications (Decker) .
