ABOUT THE PROJECT
Celestia is my term garment design for the concept of using a jersey fabric in our own interpretation of it. I wanted an elevated look and, as such, combined it with Chantilly lace. This garment has a structured corset --a base of Italian linen stabilized with boning and buckram to stand apart from the bust-up and have a more rigid look yet softened with the draped jersey handstitched on top. It also has a nude silk lining. I wanted it to convey a feeling of coming undone and an effortless elegance with a touch of edginess.
