GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Miranda Treas, a sophomore from Prairie Village, turned her childhood passion for sewing into a lingerie business.
Student channels creativity into handmade lingerie line
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER

Initially jumpstarting her fashion debut as an intern with local Kansas City, Mo., designer Hadley Johnson, Treas picked up on valuable sewing and industry skills by spending time with the couturier and even making contributions to Johnson's award-winning collection.
Miranda Treas, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., is not your typical college student. Balancing schoolwork and sorority functions, she also has successfully designed and launched the lingerie line "Treas."
"During my time in Hadley's studio, I was taught the meticulous sewing techniques, which she had learned during her time at Parson's Paris. The collection I spent the most time with was "Till Death Do Us Part," Treas said. "Hadley was named Parsons Paris 2010 Designer of the Year for this collection, and I'm honored to have been able to have been involved and do my small
part in the big scheme of things.
As talented as she is, I admire how humble Hadley is the most."
Treas last put her new skills to the test, working alongside Peregrine Honig, the owner of Birds, a lingerie shop in the Crossroads District of Kansas City. Mo. It was there that Treas was encouraged to design a line of panties to be sold in the shop. "Reservoir padded me to order

uergarments requires a delicate touch and is quite time-consuming. Treas starts by designing patterns in sizes XS-XXL and then cuts out the fabric. She then serges the seams together, applies lace or a fold over, and then adds the panty liner and label tab.
building off of a passion for sewing which started as a child, as well as several years of experience through her attendance at Fashion and Design at Broadmoor Technical Center during high school, Treas said she was "introduced to every aspect of fashion design, from figure drawing to creating patterns using CAD software." Through many hours of practice, as well as plenty of trial and error, Treas reached the point where she could easily design a garment, and then translate it into a pattern. These patterns are then used to cut out the necessary fabric for production.

"Treas' would not have been something I did on a whim," Treas said. "The most difficult part of being my own boss is finding the motivation to work for hours on end during the summer, which usually took place after a day of work as a seamstress for a post-surgical compression garment company, Contour MD. Keeping up with inventory of materials along with organization are a few of the many struggles I face, I blame these on my ADHD, which I also blame for
