This week Kingsley had some fittings to go to so there was not much to do for him but Katy had her big Christmas show deadline fast approaching so I offered to help her out for 2 days.
Katy specialises in event costumes and does some designing too. This event was for a tech company’s Christmas party inspired by The Greatest Showman so it involved lots of sequins, accessories and circus garments.
I went on a trip to Macollogh and Wallis in Soho for fabric supplies then came back and made a ruff for one of the costumes. I also adjusted the fit of some ASOS body suits and helped George hand-stitch decoration to the ringmaster jacket.
It was fun to see this other side of costume for events but it definitely felt stressful and chaotic. The event planner had made a lot of last-minute changes to the costumes and the tight time constraint meant a lot of the costumes were modified fast fashion garments.
