Textile & Design Major

Over twelve months and many, many hours my daughter

spent on her Major for Textiles.

Her theme was inspired by Vintage wedding gowns.

The photos really don't do it justice.

The bodice has lots of beading, embroidering and Angelina

Fibres sewn throughout. The skirt has five layers, including

a lining, 3 layers of tulle and the beautiful satin.

She also beaded doilies and made two strands of ribbon

to hang from the skirt.

It is so amazing in real life.

She received a Band 6 today for Textiles and

we are so proud and she truly deserves this mark after

all the effort she put in.

After saying all of the above you can imagine our

heartache when it arrived back from the HSC

marking with a black pen mark across the

front of the skirt but this is a long story so i will

stop by saying the issue is still not resolved

but the skirt has now been to the dry cleaners

and is looking wonderful again.

The marker has been reprimanded and i hope this never

happens to another students work again.
