Monday – I met James, one of the designers, and we went fabric sourcing on Goldhawk Road with Harry. They’ve gone on many trips previously so had samples and were looking for fabrics that paired well with what they’d already bought so I couldn’t input much into the discussions. However It was great to see collaboration between designer and maker, how they make decisions and discuss their different perspectives.
Tuesday and Wednesday – I continued working on the Shera look. I cut the fabric out then constructed the dress and corset to be ready to fit Eman next week.
The Shera dame design and Ebonaza king design both featured decorative gems and suggested casting them in resin to achieve a sparkly look. I have made resin jewellery and charms for a few years and want to bring this skill into my costume practice.
