I am so pleased with the final outcome of my corset! I explored lots of different ideas in order to gather inspiration for this particular piece. I looked at local graveyard and areas of neglect. From this I developed the idea of growth and decay. I loved the idea of expressing the exquisite beauty that comes from dying plants. I saw such beautiful colours and textures whilst exploring these areas. I tired to portray this in my corset by having multiple layers. I burnt the fabric and ripped it in order to add more texture, I then embroidered and laced ribbon onto the boning channels this was to show how all the plants and shrubs grow and combine together. Lastly I added pearls and lace to show the delicate beauty that nature creates.
I found designing and creating my corset very enjoyable, I am also pleased I have broadened my knowledge of garment construction and can comfortably make bespoke corsetry.
