As 2018 drew to a close, I relocated from London and commenced employment with Caroline Castigliano, an esteemed British designer of luxury bridal and evening attire. I embraced the role of Senior Technical Manager in the designer's atelier, where I was tasked with the creation and innovation of bridal patterns for the primary collection, bespoke gowns, and special event apparel. This role marked my initial foray into designing structured garments, including corsetry and petticoats.
