Finding a niche
Dragging. Slowly. Tedious. Painful. Hot and humid. Interrupted by strike for the kids show and fittings for the next mainstage.
I'm frustrated because I'm tired. Working through yet another weekend...So far 15 straight days without a day off and the next chance is a full work week from now. The designer for Mrs Warren was here today. We had to cram in as many fittings as possible. Vivi's were great. Her corset..minor alterations..two small darts. Blouse, tailored vest, jacket, skirt...I am incredibly proud of this set of mock ups. They fit beautifully with little alteration needed. And very few design choices changes.
Mrs. Warren on the other hand. I love this designer. She's brilliant. Friendly, wants to work closely with you to get the work done. But now that I'm in the position of draper, I grit my teeth every time I hear her say "we'll look at it and play around." Meaning she doesn't now what she wants yet. Which means the process is very organic and free form, regardless of deadlines. Which means I'll be sitting on my ass twiddling my thumbs for a week without answers needed to move forward. The clothes will be beautiful. But I may be beating my head against a wall sometime next week.

OMG I know exactly what you mean when people say "well, we'll deal with that later" and it sucks even WORSE when its a director. No. The time to deal with problems is NOW, when you discvoer them. You can always change your mind later, but let's fix this while we have the time and personnel. Durrr.
