Lady Suffragette

Killarney Heights High School

Erin Rose Lidbury


"The 'Lady Suffregette' art piece features a highly decorated corset modelled on a mannequin covered with a bespoke printed fabric. The design was inspired by Victorian fashion, paying tribute to those who fought for equal rights for women."

Images of Work

"The white satin bound edges that line the top and lower edges of the corset component perform the function of seamlessly connecting each of the corset panels to the lining, creating a cohesive design while the binding’s soft texture provides comfort when the corset is worn."

"Different printing techniques feature prominently in my design. The mannequin incorporates wood-block printing to create an aesthetic similar to vintage Women’s Rights Movement newspaper articles. Inkjet printed signs were created and appliquéd onto the corset. Stencil printed, purple and green roses add colour and texture."
