So I have finally completed my final toile, all three pieces for my 1st outfit, 'LOLA'.
Most people don't realise that Pattern Making and toiling a garment actually takes a while !

Outfit 1 -Lola- Final Toile Completed
For anyone who doesn't know what the term 'toile' means, it is "a garment of exclusive design made up of cheap cloth so that alterations and experiments can be made" I got that off google :] ...we use callico at tafe.
I do feel good to have completed a whole outfit, although I have not made the finished garments yet, the way I am compiling my range is completing only upto my final toile on each garment and then moving onto the next, so that I don't get too sick at looking at it, hahaha.
Once I have completed all twelve pieces of my range, I will cut them all out, which will take a few days ! and then sew them all together. Other students have chosen other methods in compiling their range, but this is what suits me the best.
I believe I have done quite well at recreating my 1st outfit, I didn't make many, if any changes to my original drawing designs.
Here are a few photos of 'Lola'

Obviously they're not as appealing in callico as they will be the real fabric.
This outfit contains the sleeveless top, bolero and pedal pushers.
