19 Comments Question 1 (a) (i) The candidate was able to give the correct name of this clothing style. (ii) The candidate gave the name of the fashion designer, but the spelling is wrong. (b) (i) The candidate gave a partially correct answer. Power dressing came into existence with the growing importance of women in the society because of better education and job opportunities for baby-boomers. The trend in 1980s has little relationship with the war that happened forty years ago. (ii) The candidate gave two appropriate features of this clothing style. Question 2 (a) The answer is barely acceptable, as it is not strictly accurate. (b) The candidate drew a sketch of a ladies military jacket, but was unable to point out the positions of the military elements. Question 3 (a) (i) The candidate gave correct names of the countries where the costumes come from. (ii) Although the candidate noted the similarity of both costumes in the neck opening, the term V-shaped is not an accurate description of the part of the garment. However, the candidate correctly highlighted the differences on waist ornaments and silhouettes between the two costumes. (b) (i) The candidate only designed one outfit for the girl, with no outfit for the boy. (ii) The candidate was unable to state clearly all the reasons for the selection, e.g. only stating same fabric as that in the diagram and high neckline. No concrete reason is found in the answer given. Question 4 The candidate was unable to give any example of clothing styles for each trend. Although a sketch of a ladies outfit was presented, it is a very common style and does not create an avant-garde feel. The candidate describes it as a combination of classic and avant-garde style only. The candidate gave the reasons for the selection of colours, styles, silhouette and accessories, but unable to give reasons for the selection of design features. Question 5 (a) The answer is barely acceptable, but the wording is not strictly accurate. (b) (i) The answer is correct. (ii) The answer is incorrect. 18

20 Question 6 (a) (i) The answer is correct. (ii) The answer is incorrect. (b) The candidate was able to list two correct characteristics only. Question 7 (a) The candidate was able to give the meanings of four symbols only, and was unable to identify the meaning of Figure 8, which is dry cleaning. (b) The candidate was able to give four examples of safety hazards that should be avoided in babies wear. (c) The answers are not relevant to colourfastness, indicating that the candidate is ill-informed on this topic. Question 8 The candidate identified three factors contributing to burning in textile products, but only one is correct. In the part where the candidate was required to give examples of flame-resistant fibres, both answers are incorrect, and the explanations for their burning behaviour are also incorrect. In the part where the candidate was required to give examples of textile apparel products treated with flame resistant agent, the candidate was also unable to give a correct answer, since cotton itself is not an end product. In the part of discussing the quality requirements involved after flame-resistant treatment, the answers are partially correct. 19
