Evaluation:
Dealing with a budget is something I haven't done for quite a few projects. I've mostly worked on projects that had supervisors that did all the budgeting so in some ways this felt like a new process. I think there are some things I did very well concerning the budget and some things I could have done better. I'm pleased to say that I stayed within my budget which was a huge success. My goal for the whole project was £500 and I spent a close total of £499.37! When broken down further I had a goal of £300 for the dresses and £200 for the undergarments. The undergarments went a little over that budget but I made up for it in the dresses. I also think I did a good job sourcing my materials. I used more on-line resources than I had ever before and found a few places I will remember for the future. And even though not everything I ordered online was how I thought it would be I adapted it to fit or if I had left-over I would try and use it some-place else. Not only did this help my project I think it helped me stretch my budget to get even more out of it. My biggest problem was that I over-bought; especially in London. I was really happy I went and I think it was worth the trip but I wish I would have waited until I got closer to actually making the dresses. If I had developed my ideas and made a really solid list of what I needed I could have been a little more frugal and careful in my purchases. Having said that I don't think I spent an exorbitant amount in London but I know there are some fabrics I bought there I didn't use. Creating and sticking to my own budget was a huge aspect of this project and I think it was success despite some ups and downs!
