Day One...
Introductory day today, much chat about background and experience and then went through what we will be doing over the next fifteen weeks - all went a bit silent at the amount of work!
Project one is Regency gentlemen (think Pride and Prejudice etc), followed by 1880's ladies and finally 1940's evening wear, all to be finished for a phot shoot on September 19.
We then all did some sewing jobs for our tutor, trimming garments, making hats and repairing trousers before lunch.
After lunch a trip to Barley Hall, a medieval hall tucked away in the centre of York, where there is an exhibition of costumes from tv and film, worn by Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett and NIcole Kidman amongst others - will post some pictures if I can work out how to get them off my phone.
Finally back to college for champagne and strawberries... and now home to do some research before tomorrow.
