The concept of this piece is centered on the celebration of vulnerability. The uneasy emotions that manifest when one experiences being vulnerable are extremely complex, yet<br />

this complexity is what makes vulnerability so beautiful. The meticulousness and tediousness of the embroidery reflects this nature and is meant to make the viewer think twice<br />

about what is being seen. At first glance, the garment should come across as visually pleasing. However, the more the garment is viewed, the more it should seem that there is a<br />

little twistedness and darkness about it. Lightweight elements become rigid and dainty elements become heavy. The sheerness of the fabric chosen as well as the voids created<br />

within the embroidery pattern are meant to expose the body.<br />

The garment is comprised of a French seamed bodice attached to a skirt (6 yards) composed of polyester organdy. There is a keyhole opening in the back with button closures at<br />

the waist and a ribbon tie closure at the neck. The embroidery consists of wool roving French knots, hand ruched tulle poufs and is hand beaded with glass pearls, seed beads,<br />

bugle beads, sequins and crystals.<br />
