Immediately after Easter we went straight in with a Design tutorial for the first years with Frances. For this we were required to have shoes, sample stockings (which we had from the fitting), jewellery and all other accessories. Over Easter we started collecting things, and also finding more things for Frances to approve of before we bought them. We still don#t have a budget number so I'm a bit hesitant about actually purchasing large amounts of items.
It was good to gauge how many students have shoes for us, so we can start collecting them for the production. I've been encouraging the makers to bring in shoes for us, at the moment we only have about 5 pairs.
I guess the day went well because Frances seemed pleased with what we had managed to gather up jewellery and accessories wise, although it is hard to work out what she likes because we never receive any direct criticism from her.
