Testing Procedure



The garments are expected to be comfortable, attractive, and secure when sitting, standing, walking, and dancing. Based on the specifications, the outfits are completed within the school year. The final test is to actually bring the garments to a TSA competition, but since they do not judge every outfit, there is a chance that there would be no evaluation of my specific garments. Therefore, it is necessary to do tesing at school to provide a sufficient database of critique. The TSA competition is on March 31th. The gown and suit are expected to match and appeal to a broad audience, and the success of this will be judged using a survey handed out to observers. The outfits must also be comfortable when walking, sitting, standing, and dancing, scenarios that will apply at a prom. The success of this will be judged by surveying the models in comfort level and ease of movement.



Procedure for in-school test:


  1. Models are to try on outfits and provide feedback based on survey

  2. Models wear outfits to display either during class or during lunch, as there will be more feedback. Observers provide feedback based on survey
