Watching Project Runway, browsing Model Sense, and digging through my wardrobe for an early Spring cleaning have all made me think fashion. And whether you consider yourself fashion savvy or not, you can’t escape it. Someone somewhere designs every bit of clothing we wear–maybe even you! So here’s a survey all about your experiences in the world of fashion.

2. If so, what?

3. Have you ever executed your design, including sewing it?

5. Have you ever worn a piece of your own designed/handmade clothing?

6. If so, did you get any feedback and what was it?
