Why should I make a mockup or toile when I have a pattern? Isn’t it overkill? This concern comes up often so I think it’s important to clarify the importance of making a mockup, or a test run of your garment, also known as the toile or muslin.
Your mockup should be a shell of your garment that you can actually try on complete with zipper, collar, pockets, sleeves and any relevant pieces of detail, such as marked or drawn placements of your buttons and buttonholes, and even a rough drawing of applique, embroidery or beadwork.
Nothing shows status more than silk garments. Silk is the most beautiful fabric and an ideal canvas for your creative vision. Fashion designers love it because it is luxurious, shimmery, comfortable to wear. Check out this latest addition: unforgettable silk crepe de Chine in abstract print.
