Recycling...

  During my first year at college I had to create and design a garment using recycled materials. The picture is of our end of year fashion show, this was my final piece. I decided to look at burlesque, show girls and concentration camps, an odd mix but I'm very pleased with the outcome.

  This was my one of my favourite projects I loved the materials I used and my inspirations. To make the corset I made a simple base of Calico which I painted with silver fabric paints. Then I tacked ring pulls onto the front of the corset. This took hours and many sugary drinks but I was so happy with the finished piece. The skirt was made from old trench coats and shirts, which I cut the collars off to create the front of the skirt.
