Independent component task 2

I worked on my dress for 2 hours 2 days a week starting from february 19 to april 28 for a grand total of 21 days :D
“I, Gabrielle Murphy, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”
i made my prom dress for my independent task. i added silver and black beading to it and i added draping to the bottom of the dress and i took it in on the sides.
the draping on the dress took the absolute longest to do (aside from the beading) because you have to go into each individual column and hand sew, meaning, you get the needle and "zig-zag" through the fabric until mid thigh. the beading was also very difficult to do because you have to hand sew each individual bead onto the dress but only on the top silk fabric.
this helped me answer my eq because it shows how much creativity is needed to make a dress and your ability to sew is essential as well.
