Tailoring for Women goes to the Olympics
Team Great Britain heads off to Beijing on a wave of success in the European Championships and with our waistcoats securely packed in their luggage. I began working with them in November 2007 as a result of the successful collaboration for the last Commonwealth Games.
The interesting thing about the shooting waistcoats we made is that they require a combination of diverse fabrics each with their own properties that have to be blended together into a highly developed garment that works with the athlete when they compete at this high level. A particular issue also was how the materials might react to the climatic extremes in China.
