Judging Criteria
Note: In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by the `Judging Criteria’ in the following order:
a) The highest score in the `Garment Construction’ component of the competition b) The degree of difficulty in sewing construction c) The highest score in `Draft/Pattern Development’ component of the competition
A. Fashion Illustration Fashion Illustration in colour - minus 2 points if not provided at time of registration. Must be mounted on a 10” x 10” bristol board. Must be drawn on a body using the provided croquis including front and back views. The croquis should be traced onto another sheet of paper with a pencil, rather than drawing the illustration directly over the original; this way, parts of the croquis that are covered by the garment can be erased and the details of the garment will be more visible.
B. Technical Drawing – 4 pts. Technical drawing of your garment design in pencil or black ink; drawn as if the garment was laid flat on a table. You must have a front and back view with all details shown on the technical drawing. DO NOT colour the drawing. You may use rulers and curves to provide a professional and neat rendering.
C. Creativity and Suitability of the Design – 8 pts. Your design must be your own creation, do not copy other people's work. The design must be suitable for a female 18 - 25 years of age and should include all required criteria.
D. Draft / Pattern Development – 20 pts. Develop your pattern to match your technical drawing. The following are part of this evaluation: proportion, seam alignment (how well the pattern pieces fit together), pattern has been modified, one dart manipulation or conversion, 1.2 cm (1/2 inch) seam allowance, notches, hem allowances (correct hem allowances with all pieces of the garment matching), cutting out of the pattern (pattern pieces are cut out carefully on the cutting lines), design details (i.e. pleats, pocket), labelling, neatness, completion.
5
A basic vest pattern is provided. The 1.2 cm (1/2 inch) seam allowance is included on the pattern pieces. Hem allowance is not included on the pattern pieces. Include the following information on the pattern pieces:
Grainlines, seam allowances, hem allowances, and where applicable - darts, tucks, pleats, etc.
Number of times to cut each piece from fabric
Label vest front, vest back, collar, collar stand, and any other pattern pieces needed for your design (i.e. yoke, pocket)
Whether to cut interfacing where applicable
Notches/dots - identify and place notches/dots wherever they will benefit the construction of the garment
Make certain to place your competition number on every pattern piece. Submission: After your garment is completed, fold your pattern pieces and place in the envelope provided with your competition number on it.
E. Garment Construction – 55 pts. Construct your garment from the pattern you made at competition. All exposed seams must be serged. Garment must be finished; that includes any closure and hem. The following are parts of this evaluation: pattern layout, collar, collar stand, bound buttonhole, button, snaps, dart manipulation, and/or darts, seams, serging, pocket, hem, design details and elements (may include but not limited to pleats, tucks, gathers, pockets), facing, interfacing, degree of difficulty of construction elements.
F. Appearance / Final Fit – 6 pts. Pin your competition number to the garment. Submit all remaining fabrics with garment. Your garment must match your technical drawing in regards to details and proportion. The fit and overall appearance of the garment will also be evaluated.
G. Safety – 2 pts. Competitors are expected to follow all instructions as indicated in the “safety instructions” section of this scope.
H. Job Interview (duration 5 - 10 minutes) – 5 pts. Each competitor will apply for a position in the fashion industry by submitting a targeted resume. Each competitor will then be interviewed for the position with possible questions about their skills, knowledge, education and/or experience.
The next page of the scope (page 6) is the croquis to be used for the drawing element of the competition; page 7 has a template which can be used to make the technical drawing
