When people say, “I don't know how
she does it!”
Today “I don't know how I do it!”,
When I was told my designer was unable
to finish my garments for Oaks Day and Emirate Stakes Day, I have
been in semi melt down, although, I refuse to cry. Tears are not for
fashion and dare I say not even for hats. There are way too many big
issues in the world.
My life was left in layers of fabric:
Expensive silk fabric!
I was not in a place where I could do
anything, I don't dislike the designer, just really upset and
disappointed, as it is not easy to find a dressmaker within a couple
of days.
When every designer in Melbourne is
working on their masterpiece for 'Myer Fashions on the Field'
designer section, who wants to take on a new project?
Call in Craig Braybrook!
Craig was busy with his winning
masterpiece that won 'Myer Fashions on the Field, Designer Award',
but suggested I ring Bernadette Pimenta.
This morning, I had a call from
Bernadette to come and try the calico and have a corset boned. Yes,
this morning. I am now awaiting a call that it shall be ready for me
for a fitting at about 10pm tonight.
Allot of people were asking where I was
today, as I did not attend the 'Oak's ladies luncheon', the most
coveted ticket in ladies luncheons. I am just thinking, my full
wardrobe is in Far North Queensland and contrary to popular belief,
you don't see me blog everyday in a fabulous outfit. Most of the
days are spent with my children in the back garden planting
vegetables in cargo pants.
With my fabulous hat by 'Paris Kyne,
Master Milliner', 'Phoebe', I had the material ready, and I vowed not
to wear import. I want Australian Couture!
Bernadette is still tirelessly working
in her studio, with her own personal 'Project Runway'. This is a
lady of remarkable skill.
Yesterday, finishing her garment that
finaled in the 'Myer Fashions on the Field, Designer Award' and today
making my dress to present to camera. I am forever grateful and
thankful.
Sometimes heroes come in capes, masks,
or costumes, but mine comes with a arm full of Calico and Pins.
