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:

construct corsetry and undergarment patterns using taken and calculated measurements

sew, fit and finish a range of corsetry and undergarments that meet production requirements

work collaboratively with production personnel and performers to produce required garment within production deadlines.

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 making costumes

describe characteristics of fabrics used to construct corsetry and undergarments

explain principles and techniques of corsetry and undergarment construction and fitting

describe techniques for making alterations to patterns after fittings

outline the process for testing patterns in toile form before finalising them

identify typical problems that arise in the context of constructing costume corsetry and undergarments and briefly describe solutions

describe safety procedures that apply to using equipment and materials to make corsetry and undergarments.
