This amazing dress was created from preloved tights, socks, scarves, t-shirts and even bedsheets

Our young designer cut and stretched these materials to create yarn, and used different techniques including knitting, crocheting and braiding these upcycled fabrics to bring the piece together. Tight Space' was created to represent a personal journey for our young designer - reflecting the challenges of dyslexia and the creativity it takes to embrace them. 

The outfit is styled with a headpiece and shoes, also decorated with handcrafted details.
