Constructed out of 84 pieces of burgundy silk dupion\, the garment has been worked on by 336 women and 7 men\, from 46 countries\, with all 136 commissioned artisans paid for their work (as well as receiving a portion of all ongoing exhibition fees). The rest of the embroidery was added by willing audience at various exhibitions & events.\nEmbroiderers include female refugees from Palestine and Syria\, women seeking asylum in the UK from Iraq\, China\, Nigeria and Namibia\, victims of war in Kosovo\, Rwanda\, and DR Congo; impoverished women in South Africa\, Mexico\, and Egypt; individuals in Kenya\, Japan\, Turkey\, Sweden\, Peru\, Czech Republic\, Dubai\, Afghanistan\, Australia\, Argentina\, Switzerland\, Canada\, Tobago\, Vietnam\, Estonia\, USA\, Russia\, Pakistan\, Wales\, Colombia and England\, students from Montenegro\, Brazil\, Malta\, Singapore\, Eritrea\, Norway\, Poland\, Finland\, Ireland\, Romania and Hong Kong as well as upmarket embroidery studios in India and Saudi Arabia.\n\n\n
