Hand Embroidery Fashion - Student

Taking the idea of Celebration, I chose to
make a decorative corset as may have
been worn to period occasions of
celebration. The motifs are naturally
inspired celebrating the beauty of nature.
I embroidered onto leather as the grain of
the leather reminded me of leaf veins.
Using mainly hand stitching techniques
(open chainstitch, picotstitch, beading) to
keep with the beauty of traditional
embroidery and more modern techniques
(laser cutting the leather, machine running
stitch on wash away and encorperating
wire) I aimed to show and celebrate the
evolution of embroidery.
