Develop and test patterns for bras and swimwear

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the patterns for production of bras and swimwear that include structured foundations such as boning, underwire, corsetry, etc. Bras and swimwear that does not include these components are covered in other pattern-making units.

This unit applies to the development and testing of a pattern from an existing block, utilising advanced principles of pattern making.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication and problem solving to develop and document patterns. Planning and organising skills are required to complete patterns. Self management skills are required to ensure patterns meet quality requirements and specifications.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to develop and test patterns for bra and swimwear production using an existing block and applying pattern-making principles.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements
