concept

Donated interior upholstery fabric: no stretch, stiff drape
Silhouettes shaped entirely by what the material could do
Bias cuts introduced movement where the fabric would otherwise resist it

construction

Kick pleat at the hem resolves fabric stiffness
Every fit adjustment made structurally, not visually
Three samples each refitted from scratch before the next was cut
