Tailoring

Ok, so I am a MASSIVE fan of tailoring!

I thrive on the idea of being able to use maths with fashion. I would be so happy if in the future that was what I became known for...beautifully calculated tailored masterpieces! I love solving problems, and using calculations and it is a perfect combination when it comes to both design, and making. The making side of fashion is definitely the area I prefer as I love the challenge of being able to make something out of almost nothing. With tailoring its more about precision, and detail and everything else comes second. I would say that my biggest strength is also my biggest weakness and thats my desire for perfection. I hate it when something isn't perfect, and until something stands in my way to prevent any further progression, I will keep trying to reach that impossible standard. I am my own worst critic. 

I am just about to start a menswear tailoring project at university and to say I am excited about it is a massive understatement. I do love designing and making womenswear but there has always been something about menswear that has always caught my attention that tiny bit extra. There is so much that I want to learn when it comes to menswear but I don't think there would be enough time within my degree to even touch on hardly any of it which I think is a bit of a shame. 

So heres to the next few weeks, and I just hope that my love for menswear tailoring keeps growing throughout the project.
