Seeing your costume, something you've made yourself, from scratch, with your own hands, (and a needle!) in 3D on the model and not just a stand is an amazing thing. When you've spent hours drafting and redrafting patterns, and sewing and unpicking and sewing again. It makes it all worth it when you see it all come together.
Chatting with the designer Frances Tempest (costume designer of BBC's Robin Hood) and getting her feedback was incredible. Her enthusiasm for getting her hands in there (literally - and sometimes down the cleavage) and pushing and pulling the model and your costume around was great, if a little worrying. Especially when she decides to simply rip your stitching apart.
All in all, an amazing experience, can't wait to carry on!
Here are some photos from the fitting with my wonderful model Imogen.
In her costume before it got ripped apart.
The 'puff' with hip pads underneath to make it even larger!
At the end of the fitting, with all the alterations made. Can't wait to get hair & make-up into the mix.
