"Manufacturing techniques like French seams play a large role in my Major Textiles Project (MTP). I wanted the main body of the dress to remain sheer, in order to display the corset of my MTP underneath, and to depict the structural integrity of the design in contrast to its organic and unrefined nature. The French seams allows me to create a strong, durable finish whilst keeping the raw seam allowance enclosed, enabling a visual seamless finish that complimented the sheer nature of the design."

"In my Major Textiles Project, I use heat manipulation to create and curate textured organic shapes that physically extend from the body of the dress to be incorporated into the design. I found the heat manipulation the most successful process to achieve the unrefined shapes that represent the continuously moving, changing, corrosion and regeneration of the natural world."
