During the Loulette Bride x Sovereign Bloom project, I applied this approach through the development of an ultra gathered bridal pant, using fittings as a primary tool to evaluate and refine both construction and design intent. 	As part of a nine-person team in Concept to Consumer, we developed a modular, three-look bridal collection composed of seven interchangeable garments. My role focused on the design,...]]></description><link>https://www.leilaniyamilavega.com/post/the-anatomy-of-fit-applying-iterative-precision-in-bridal-product-development</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f3c9d31f713e5a338919fb</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e406c2_62ae1cc157354935a1d73a7692de5b8c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Leilani Vega</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
