Inverted Tailoring

A tailoring project inspired by the shapes I found in St John the Baptist Cathedral in Norwich. Uses the ceiling shapes and arches with strong influences from 17th Century menswear and traditional tailoring techniques and figure flattering shapes in women tailoring. Through a number of toiles and experimenting with style lines, pleats and shape as well as creating my own sleeve pattern with a pleated detail which is held into place with bar tacs.
