Guest Speaker - Cat Miranda Ferreira
Cat Ferreira is a PhD student at De Montfort University. Her research project focuses on the transition from small-scale, individualised production to mass-manufacture of corsets in the nineteenth century.
She is working closely with the Symington Collection to explore how Symington’s, a Leicestershire-based corset company, succeeded in this transition, and how their construction methods and corset styles changed to adapt to mass-manufacture.
Cat also has an MA in Dress & Textile History from the University of Glasgow. In her spare time, she likes sewing from all centuries, and she is constantly making something.
