A. Preface

Skill Explained:
Fashion Technology comprises of many different skills required in the making and marketing
of garments and fashion accessories. People are qualified for diverse work profiles available
in the apparel-manufacturing sector. The diversity of the skills required in the industry are
very broad; it is common for people working in this field to be specialists in a particular
aspect and have strong fundamentals governing aesthetic and design elements.
They must be able to work in either formal or informal teams, or stand-alone.

The Test Project consists of 4 modules – 12 hours

1. Pattern making and lay up - 3 hrs
2. Sketching - 1 hr
3. Construction - 7 hrs
4. Draping - 1 hr

All modules must start at the same time.

Competitors must submit each module at the end of the maximum time for that module,

finished, or not.

The Competitor shall:

• Create a dress pattern
• Mark and measure the dress on a lay
• Drape on the dress form (pins only) to copy a mystery image provided
• Sketch garments for different target market levels, according to the properties of a mystery
swatch provided
• Sew a dress according to the design provided
• Use various industrial machines efficiently
• Finish some parts of the garment with hand sewing
• Press and finish the garment

B. Description of Project and Tasks

MODULE 1: Pattern Making and Lay-up

Competitor Instruction Sheet

Maximum time – 3 hours

The Skill Competition Manager will provide measurements and a technical drawing for the
dress at the start of the module. No blocks will be provided.

Competitors will make a set of patterns for the dress and its lining according to the technical
drawing, technical information, and the measurements provided at the start of the module.

Competitors must submit the full pattern for marking at the end of the module.

When the pattern is complete, competitors must do a pattern layout on the fabric and submit
it for assessment.

The dress will not be cut or constructed before the lay evaluation.

Pattern must be pinned to the lay but MUST NOT BE CUT.

The lay will be assessed between the tests on the same day.

Competitors who complete Module 1 before time can utilise the left over time for cutting the
fabric after the lay evaluation.

MODULE 2: Sketching
Competitor Instruction Sheet

Maximum time - 1 hour

It will be either:

• Fast Fashion Spring/Summer (4 pieces front & back) or

• Fast Fashion Autumn/Winter (4 pieces front & back) or

• Couture Spring/Summer (2 pieces front & back) or

• Couture Autumn/Winter (2 pieces front & back)

All sketches must be in ink only (ink shading is allowed) sketches must be drawn on the A4
size paper provided.

All Competitors will sketch for the same season, target market, and the same fabric swatch.

Sketches must be submitted at the end of the module.

MODULE 3: Draping

Competitor Instruction Sheet

Maximum time - 1 hour

Competitors will be supplied with 2 m of muslin. They will be required to drape the muslin on
the dress form, pinning as they go, to create a copy of a mystery dress, which will come from
a ballot draw, selected by the Skill Competition Manager at the start of the module. All
competitors will drape this style.

They will be marked on their fabric handling skills and also the accuracy of their
interpretation of the style.

Competitors will be able to press their muslin and tape their dress form in the familiarization
time, but all the other work will take place during the competition time.

Competitors may cut or fold edges of the calico - whichever will create the best finish and
cleanest line.

Ease may or may not be added, according to the Competitor’s choice and their desire to
reflect the appropriate fit and finish.

The dress form will be brought to the marking area at the end of the module.

MODULE 4: Construction

Competitor Instruction Sheet

Maximum time – 7 hours

Competitors will construct a dress according to the design provided in by The Skill
Competition Manager and pattern developed in Pattern Making Module.

The dress should be constructed using appropriate seams and finishes and lined completely.
No raw edges are allowed. The construction should have clean and precise stitches and all
seams should be topstitched. Hem is finished by hand.

Competitors must share fusing press and overlock machine with other competitors. All
Competitors will have access to all shared equipment.

At the end of the module, the final garment must be draped on the dressform for final
evaluation.

D. Marking Scheme (WSSS)

• Work Organization and Management – 7%

• Communication and Interpersonal Skills – 5%

• Problem Solving, Innovation and Creativity – 7%

• Fashion Design – 15%

• Technical Drawing – 10%

• Pattern Construction and Draping – 20%

• Cutting, Sewing and Finishing Techniques – 36%

Marking Scheme: The Assessment is done by awarding points by adopting two methods,
Measurement and Judgments
● Measurement - One which is measurable
● Judgment - Based on Industry expectations

Aspects are criterias which are judged for assessment.

Assessment and Marking of Test Projects

The Marks will be allocated under the heads of Measurement and Judgment.

For Measurement, marks are marked as per actuals.

For Judgement, marks will be awarded for each aspect as under;

• 0: performance below industry standard
• 1: performance meets industry standard
• 2: performance mostly meets industry standard and exceeds industry standards sometimes
• 3: excellent or outstanding performance

Example-Judgment Marking
If maximum marks for Judgement criteria is 1 and if all 3 Experts (Juries) give 3 points to a
candidate, the candidate will get 1 mark for that aspect. If 2 Experts give 3 and 1 Expert
gives 2 points, then the candidate will get (3+3+2)/9*1 = 0.89 marks for that aspect out of 1
mark.

Note: The Test Projects and Marking Scheme will be decided by the Experts (jury members)
prior to competition, based on actual resources being used in the competition.
