Delilah is an exploration in techniques, working with boning and hoop steel to create such drastic forms. At her very core is a cotton chemise and pair of white cotton drawers - which to be accurate would have had a split crotch seam. She is specifically used to cover up, keep the body warm, wick away sweat and keep the wearers outer clothes undamaged from said sweat and body oils. 

​

Her corset is constructed from coutil with flat steel boning and spiral steel boning in areas that needed more extreme curves. She closes with a steel busk in the front and has metal eyelets in the back. On top of this goes a steel boned hoop skirt, which has ties at the behind in order to balance the hoops correctly around the body.

​

Delilah is less of a narrative herself, but more a piece that is a building block to a new one. She is incredibly valuable in creating the correct silhouette to communicate new ideas on top of - specifically seen in the case of Kyla. Without Delilah, there would be no Kyla.
