Couture Fashion inspired by the British Engineerium 2

In less than a month I have to make this absolutely fabulous outfit for the Brighton Museum as featured in my last bloggy blog. Current status is searching for just the right materials and colours with which to set this piece alight. After I set up my new studio up at home I'll be getting onto pattern cutting. Still designing the detail for the front of the corset, am torn between my love for figurative embroidery and the abstract beading that seems more appropriate for the piece. It is a battle of style I hope I can resolve shortly...
