Week Three
Tuesday 2nd April
Today I did the last parts of the unpicking on the dress bodice.
After my lunch I drew up some beaded pattern ideas for the appliqué sections,
as I have decided to hand bead the sections with new beads.
Wednesday 3rd April
Today I didn’t go into the shop as I took the day off to make a
trip to pick up some new beads for the dress. Nick said it was fine for me to
take the day to shop around for new beads. I ended up going to Nottingham and
purchased three different types of beads from John Lewis. I also purchased
invisible thread and special beading needles.
Thursday 4th April
Today I tested out three of my beading designs on the appliqué
sections. I only got chance to do my beading up until about 3pm, as we had a
few customers come in who I helped with trying on dresses.
Friday 5th April
Today I chose my favorite beading design and began the beading
work. It took me a short while to get used to working with the beading and
invisible thread.
At 1pm Nick had an appointment at the bank so he left me in charge
of the shop. Shortly after left, a girl came in who told me she was getting
married in sex weeks. I explained that all the dresses are made to order and
take five to six moths to come in once ordered. I told her that she is more
than welcome to try some on and if she finds one she likes Nick may sell it off
the hanger and we can then book her in with Barbara to do any alterations.
The first dress she tried on she fell in love with. I contacted
Nick and explained the girl would like the dress off the hanger and is it
possible that we could sell it her.
Luckily Nick
discussed it with his mum and we were able to sell the girl the dress that she
wanted.
Both Nick and his mum were very pleased with the dress sale I made
as it was one of their most expensive dresses they stock.
Saturday 6th April
Today was again another usual
Saturday at the shop. The day was packed with bridal appointments and
alteration appointments
