Naga is a mythical creature that plays an important role in my country, Myanmar, and religion, Buddhism. I wanted my thesis to represent my background by relating my garments to the shape, structure, and colors of Naga. I also decided to take some silhouettes from Burmese historic garments as inspiration and add embellishments, mainly beading, since Burmese garments are usually filled with gold appliqués and beadings.
