I am including Westwood in my designer index no so much because her aesthetic resonates with mine but because her design practice does. I heard from someone who worked with her that a very large component of her designing process and construction process is done by tweaking on the stand. I find it necessary to do the same thing. Though I think flat pattern-making extremely important and enjoyable, I find every little change I make I need to toile - that physical incarnation is so important. Then - slicing it here, pinning it there - somethings can only be done on the stand. Viva la toile!
