Here are the girls working away!!I can't believe our week is already drawing to a close. Ryane and Mandie have been such treasures to have in the studio. The one character trait I most respect in both the girls is that they would rather actually DO whatever needs to be done instead of watching us do it. They both jjumped in with both feet tackling sewing and designing tasks that neither of them were familiar with. I presented them with two very daunting goals for the week. One was to take apart and restyle a vintage wedding gown and the second was to upcycle a fairly modern gown. The upcycled gown must be ready by 4:00 when our model and our professional photographer arrive for the formal photo shoot. The girls are finishing up some hand work on the lace train and the gown will be done with at least an hour to spare. The vintage dress has gone as far as it can until we discuss some issues with the bride. I am so impressed with these two girls!
