"The manufacturing techniques I used in tailoring were fundamental to the successful construction of the coat. The use of strategically placed darts and seams enables my coat to hug the silhouette of the body shape. Specialised tailoring techniques and methodical application produced my visually pleasing garment."

"The decorative technique of beading was significant in my Major Textiles Project, particularly on the neck piece. The hand embellished beading allowed high levels of complexity, creating great visual depth, texture and interest. In addition, the golden beading mimics golden rays, as the sunlight reflects, hence attracting the audience's gaze and emphasizing the aesthetic appeal."
