Note- As lace is expensive and this was to practise the technique tutu net has been used as the foundation and I have used black nylon as a demonstration purpose only, for an actual piece you would use lace and invisable nylone thread.

Evaluation.

It was good to expand our knowledege of whipping and how they are used to fit postiche/wigs work to a rounded edge, I felt during this class I have developed my knotting skills alot which is allowing me to push myself when designing as I found I am not limiting myself I want to try beards, moving hairline etc which overall is expanding my knowledge base and making me a better artist. I felt quiet confortable creating the template even though it is my first beard one I used my knowledge from the bald cap and moustache templates to guide me on what I needed to do.

Blocking the net was where I struggled becasue the holes in the tutu net strecthed it was very dificult to keep it in one place as it always stretched further than you wanted it to, the size of the holes meant they easily fell out of the points  that were to hold it down. The easiest soltuion I found was to hold the net with masking tape whilst I used alot of point (much more than usual) the folded the excess net over and pointed that down too. Obviously I could do this as it was a durable tutu net however I would never tape down lace it is too fragile and would tear.

I found whipping the darts was alot easier when fitted to a template as you had more guidelines of where they should sit. As you can see in the images the fit of the net was quiet good around the chin it sat snuggly against it chin however on the right side of her chin the dart is a little too large is comes down onto her neck and sits at a slightly funny angle, this hasnt affected the fit as a whole though.
