Back to the factory

You might have noticed that I have not been posting as much as usual. That is because we have been really, really busy. We have been going back and forth to the factory to try to complete the Japan order. We had a problem with one particular dress because we could not get the fabric that the sample was made of and what the Japanese ordered. That was a "one-off" that was made solely for Lisa to wear to a party. But they dug it off the rack and ordered it and we had to do our best to get it.

You can see the original in the middle. The ones on each end are two different fabrics that most closely approximate it. You can not tell the texture and feel of the fabric but they are silk cotton blends and very rich.

The problem is sewing this dress. We are back forth all the time to the factory to make decisions about making this dress.

 

Lisa and the pattern maker are working to get all the kinks out and finish it in time for delivery. It is just very time consuming so Joey Gallo and Doc Holliday have to take a back seat.
