If
have been reading my last few posts you will know that I have been
commissioned to fix a dress for my best friend. The more I work on
it, the more I realize that I worry too much. Basically I mean that
I have always worried about the quality of my goods and honestly I
probably shouldn't. Well not to say that I really shouldn't worry
about it at all, all designers should . But more I should realize
that my designs are just as well made as the stuff made and sold in
stores.
The Jamaica dress is
a prime example. I worked on the sides today. I tore the skirt seam
open and the seam wasn't even serged. Silk, unfinished, seriously?
Because that is not going to fray and I mean really fray over time to
the point where the dress will be unwearable and potentially have
irreversible damage. I serge everything, every edge, If I can't I
make damn sure I have a huge clearance, plus top stitching, a heap of
top stitching. Hey but that's just me right? Anyways I guess my point
is I feel I have been to hard on myself, because others don't seem to
be as picky as me. But I guess being picky can be a good thing.
