Unit of Competency LMTFD5014B - Construct complex blocks for fashion garments
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to construct complex blocks to be used for patterns of fashion garments with advanced styling requirements.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to the construction of blocks for pattern development of fashion garments that require advanced styling such as label house, couture, designer label, made-to-measure, bridal or corsetry production.Work conducted requires discretion and judgment.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recyclingThis unit requires skills associated with communication to interpret documentation relating to quality standards, specifications, measurement and sizing. Planning and organisation and problem solving skills are required to construct complex blocks according to design requirements, and size and fit specifications. Self management skills are used to confirm work meets quality requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Analyse garment range composition
  • Garments in range are confirmed
  • Design sketches and drawings and specifications are interpreted and clarified with designer as required
  • Intended purpose of design is established
  • Profile of target market is obtained
  • Designs are evaluated and recorded in relation to specification of fit model, body movement and comfort
  • Fabric characteristics and performance, trims and finishing are considered in relation to the design
       
Element: Construct the block
  • Blocks are selected for fashion garments
  • Block drafting principles and methods are selected for block construction
  • Measurements and characteristics of fit model are analysed and entered into block drafting formulas and methodology
  • Block is constructed using pattern-making technical skills and checked to ensure compliance with requirements, design specifications and standards
  • Methods and formulas used are documented
       
Element: Verify blocks for accuracy and suitability
  • Block is checked either manually, by computer or by constructing a toile
  • Where required, toiles are constructed from block
  • Correct proportion, fit and balance and suitability of garment is verified and where required, minor adjustments are made
  • Final blocks are completed, labelled and checked for accuracy and completeness to ensure compliance with specifications
       
Element: Develop block portfolio for fashion label
  • Blocks are presented in preparation for development of style patterns according to workplace requirements
  • Blocks are stored on appropriate media
  • Blocks are filed and stored
       
Element: Maintain records
  • Records are maintained and reports prepared, where necessary
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here
