Allowing a 1-piece lingerie comprising a bodysuit to be entered in the TIA for the first time in 2010 has inspired Grace. She
explains her piece eloquently, “Today’s bodysuits are inspired by the wrapping methods of mummification—but using nude
stockings instead of linen bandages. My inspiration was Pharaoh Hatshepsu, the first woman to rule Egypt and she brought
much prosperity, wealth and peace in her time! Although she has lived thousands years ago, she would be rocking the lingerie in
the other world.”
