"To construct key areas of the gown I used the manufacturing technique of French seams. These were used to construct the sheer corset bodice, the inner layer of organza and outer layer of georgette on the gown. On the bodice, this technique allowed the construction of a sheer bodice to be possible, while ensuring neatness."

"The floral lace and beading embellishment was created by deconstructing three different lace fabrics and repositioning individual pieces to create a new fabric to form my unique floral design. The crystal and pearl beading adds a sense of luxury and was used to highlight key lace features and add more detail. The new floral lace and beaded pieces were hand appliquéd onto the gown using invisible thread."
