Trained in Seville in the Goymar Fashion High School, she worked for Franc Sarabia and then for Siviglia doing the Victorio&Lucchino prêt-à-porter. Later she opened her own atelier in Asuncion Street from Seville, and then, she worked in Madrid with María Velandia and Basaldúa. «In Madrid I got the Pattern and Cutter Sailor title in Escuela Superior de Sastrería La Confianza«.

Apart from parading in many editios of Simof and We Love Flamenco, as she deals with all the points, also made the sacramental clothing for the Toledo bishop. “In Madrid and surrounding there are many Rocio Brotherhoods which order Flamenco dresses and many locals fairs and processions, where you can see more dresses each time, without forgeting the big amount of people who go down to the Andalusians Fairs, especially Seville”.

 

She says that Salao and Pardales sisters have created the best Flamenco dresses, and that the pattern of the most worldwide traditional costume has to be very clear in order not to lose its roots, its essence, apart from the tissues used. She considers that in this immediacy society we don’t give the importance to the diligence of crafts and that the tailoirng market, which is hers, is given especially to big events, when the originality and good sense still appears.
