Built a foundation through degree-level study in Apparel Product Development. Brings a 12-year professional background in woven dresses and jersey dresses.

Responsibilities range from coordinating sample calendars to reviewing component choices, with a working style grounded in attention to how garments look and move in everyday use.
A near-neutral shoe leaves more attention on the dress. Check the palette in natural light.
The side view shows how far a dress stands away from the body. Release a held-in stomach before assessing the waist. Check the curve of the hem. Movement completes the profile check. Walk and stop without smoothing the skirt first. Sit and stand to see whether fabric releases.
Sleeve lining can restrict movement before the outer cloth does. Reach forward at a comfortable height.
Check whether the lace covers the whole skirt or appears only in particular panels or trims. For secondhand lace, request clear images of the hem, seat, and fastening areas.
Choose a clean dry location if airing is recommended. Consider professional cleaning advice if the garment requires specialist care.
Check whether the skirt has a lining and what it covers. Ask how the garment should be stored between wears.
