week two of work experience...

-->
Week Two

Tuesday 26th March

Today I took my laptop in to the shop with me to research dresses to get some more ideas for the dress I am customizing. I continued my research up until dinner.

After dinner I did some cleaning and tidying in the shop ready for an afternoon appointment. The appointment was at two for a bride to try on dresses and to look at possible bridesmaid dresses.

The bride was not getting married till 2015 so she was only getting some initial dress ideas and colour scheme ideas.


Wednesday 27th March

Today I started to take apart the wedding dress that I am customizing.

Firstly I unpicked the whole of the bodice section from the skirt and underskirt sections.

Here shows a close up of the lace and beading on the dress. I’m not very keen on beading so this is something I will change first.

I begin by unpicking all the beading off the lace appliqué sections and then unpick the appliqué sections from the under lace fabric.

I continue this till the end of the day














Thursday 28th March & Friday 29th March

Over both days I continued with the removal of the beading and appliqué sections. The process is taking longer than anticipated as the whole front and back section of the bodice is heavily beaded.


Saturday 30th March

Today has been a typical Saturday at the shop. No time for continuing with my work so I was just there to help out with appointments and keeping the shop in order. I was appointed to answer the phone if it rang whilst Nick and his mum spoke to the brides.
