After making the decision as I business person and my for my own enjoyment it would be a better idea to have a tailor edge my designs with bias binding and line the designs for me as I the time it takes me I could be successfully getting on with what I enjoy and I am good at the surface design.

Finally getting my prototype back!!!!

Negatives:
Lining makes the garment too heavy, especially for larger people as it makes it harder to get that flattering fit makes them feel bigger.
Lining costly to buy and insert
Lining dominates the outside too much as dark bright bold one colour.
Ties are too bold of colour
Colour blocking takes over the print and becomes focus point of the design, do not look at the detailing of the impotence of all the marks within the fabric. Bias binding becomes lost against the colour blocking of blue.
Length is slightly too long (-5cm)
Positives:
Good design/pattern
Ties good length to let wearer tie however they please it many different ways
Bias binding makes it finishes it off brilliantly extremely pleased
If had no lining and it was the reverse of the fabric it could be reversible so people would be getting more for there money.
Colour blocking needs to be breathing space, comparing reasons why it works on pink/orange dress is because it is hand painted colour on backing cloth so not perfect and it’s the smallest of mark that makes it.
Breathing space needs to be lighter if anything and pulled out from print, white with a hint of dusty rose, of white with a mint tone etc.
