It is no fun to glue latex. I think I have a toxic poisoning.

One dress. 11 meters of fabric for the base. 26 meters of latex for the ruffles. My two hands to stitch it. I'm crazy :)

Thoughts on this term.

The first term of my last year of studies was quite different from all the others. This time we didn't have to do that much of work and we've been given space and time  for thinking our concept and collection throughly. I really enjoyed this a bit relaxed atmosphere, and was able to really get inspired and create very good work. I am really happy with the concept I came up with and how much directions it gave me in terms of design. I've got a little carried away with silhouette experimentation - draping and sewing and done quite a decent amount of toile. Although I still have a couple that I want to explore.

I still had sleepless nights with intense  preparation for the exam, but in the end I've got really positive feedback from my tutors, so it was all worth it.

To conclude I am very happy with how the term was organised and what outcome I've got. Now it's time to relax a bit and get lots of sleep.
