TESTING REQUIREMENTS ISSUES THAT ARE OCCURING AND SOLUTION IMAGES

• Durability – material and stitching is correct, so item should last.

1. Slightly too long – the trousers should sit in-line with approximately the middle of the ankle. Remove 2 inches of length.

2. No Slit – add slit, which should be 5 inches.

• Stretch – squat test performed and items did not tear or become more opaque.

3. Waistband – needs to be thicker to provide stomach control. Add 1.5 inches to waistband.

4. Sample needs to be recreated in the correct colour once these adjustments are made. This needs to be done so that we can understand the properties of the material once it is printed with the glitter design.

• Tear Strength – stretch test completed and material did not rip or tear.

• Opacity – trousers are not see-through, so there are no visible pant lines.
