Story
Since I grew up
in a large family, my grandmother, who was a loom worker, always taught her daughters
and nieces. Since then, I have put into practice my gained knowledge. Traditional
costumes were something that we lacked in our family to put on special occasions.
So, this prompted me to deal with the preparation of traditional costumes. The
beginning was very exciting. I bought an old costume and stripped it all and
then started to reshape it bit by bit. It took me six months to make the first costume.
It was the most exciting work.
