Mini Mannequin Construction
This project challenged me to create half scale historical garments to understand the shape and construction of period clothing. Not only did the creation of these pieces help me understand period construction techniques but they also fueled my interest in historical costuming even more.
​
In the span of this project I worked on:
A corset, a pair of bodies, a bumroll, pockethoops, a shift, a petticoat, a men´s doublet and a men´s jacket
