I will be going into detail on the deconstruction process of two garments in particular; this will provide a better understanding of how garments are put together through the production process.Therefore giving you a visualised and fully explained breakdown of the different techniques used for fastenings, pockets and the seams. I will also be looking in detail at the time of stitching used throughout the garments.

Here are some more photos I've taken while visiting Selfridges in London, As you can see, these Karen Millen trousers provide a very smart, but casual look. However, the trousers I'm planning to deconstruct within the project are long and have pockets at the front and back, whereas the trousers in these images only have one slit back pocket.
The photos I have taken here represent the same style of coat as the one I will be taking apart within this project. However, this version is more on trend and is available in All Saints for £276 currently. Furthermore, as you can see the materials used are completely different. This coat has a thicker texture to it and is more designed for the winter, whereas the coat I'm taking apart is more designed for the rainy season. (these images where taken in Selfridges Oxford Street).

As you can see this is a flat drawing of the jacket which I have done through Photoshop. The flat drawing is normally how designs are laid out on paper to send to the manufacturer in the production process of the garments. This ensures the production team are aware of the stitch lines, how many pieces the coat will be made up from and where all the fastenings and pockets are located.
The photos above show my second garment which is a pair of trousers. The trousers just like the jacket have two different types of fastenings, namely, a zip at the front of the trousers and a button on the waist band. In addition to this, the trousers also have two different types of pockets which are located at the front and the back.
These photos show the jacket that I have purchased for this deconstruction project. However, for the moment, as you can see, the jacket has two different types of fastening one is a zip and the other velcro. The jacket also has two different types of pockets both located at the front of the jacket. The first two pockets are smaller then the two located at the bottom. Another difference between the two pockets are the zips which are straight across the jacket for the top pockets and side ways for the side pockets.
