Your fashion portfolio is a daunting and overwhelming task, and my goal with these critiques (and my book) is to give you ideas, inspiration and support to make the process a little easier.
I'll share things I like, where I think there is room for improvement, and what I think is missing. My comments are my opinion only, but I hope you find the advice helpful and can apply it to your own work!

Thanks heidi
Thank you so much! Can you tell me what is the best portfolio website to use for your portfolio?
Hi, your videos are awesome and should have more views in my opinion. Can you tell me what the difference is between "flats / CAD work" and "tech sketches" ? Thank you!
Flats are sketches drawn as though the garment is laying flat on a table and include accurate construction and details. Most often they are done in Illustrator.
CAD means Computer Aided Design and is a more broad term related to artwork that is created with a computer. Many brands use the word "CADs" when they reference digital work such as flats...so those words are sometimes used interchangeably.
Tech Sketches are flats with written callouts that specify details like what kind of stitching, trims, construction etc is used.
My Guide to Fashion Industry Terminology and Abbreviations may help you become more familiar with some of these terms :)
