Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence of the ability to:

research historical clothing styles relevant to costumes required for productions

take accurate body measurements of performers

prepare a dress form or dressmaker’s dummy according to body size and measurements

construct period block patterns to fit an individual

use taken measurements to construct blocks that meet the silhouette of chosen periods

conduct test fittings in toile form

resolve problems associated with constructing pattern blocks to accurately reflect style of chosen periods.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

outline roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in constructing period costumes

describe characteristics of fashion silhouettes from different times in Western history

explain how alterations are made to basic blocks

identify typical problems that arise in the context of constructing blocks for period costumes and briefly describe solutions

describe work health and safety procedures that apply to using equipment for making patterns and toiles.
