Visual CVs from Level 5

Add captions  This is one of the garments which was done on Level 5 project , it is a dancing costume.  The fabric is Lycra material, the colour is purple,  the long  sleeves and top part of the bodice are  a mixture of purple and blue  netting Lycra fabric. To have my work embllished I first tested  the bounder-a -web  on to the lycra fabric  but the bounder-web  did not take very well to the lycra fabric, so I had to use the brown  lycra netting instead because the bounder-web  took to the netting much better .With a warm iron I ironed on the  bounder-web on to the brown lycra netting, then  took the backing off the bounder-web  and pressed the  netting  on to the bodice   using  a warm iron. I  embellished the brown lycra fabric with dimonta.  I did the same with the applica on the front of the bodice.

This is a dancing costume made from lycra fabric on Level 5 project for a girl aged eight. The bodice 

and long sleeveeves are made from  brown lycra fabric.  The skirt is made of pink embroidery  lycra fabric, the black trimmings at the front is also lycra. The brown lycra netting that made up the sleeves and the bodice are embllishement  with pattern cut out from the skirt fabric, these are glued on using fabric glue.
