Summer-2012 & European Theatrical Production

The Summer of 2012 is soon to be over. Finally...August has arrived! And I have seen more colorful birds hopping around and calling out. When I see that, I know cooler weather is just around the corner. Afer a long, hot Northern Florida summer, I am ready for cooler temperatures.

I wish to share some pictures of a theatrical production in Europe that I was thrilled to make the attire for.

Located in Avignon, France, the  production of 'The Four Seasons Restaurant' was performed by talented performers from Italy.

As I was mailing the box to Europe, a woman behind me in the FedEx line asked questions about the box travelling to France. When I told her it was for 14 beautiful girls to perform at the Festival d'Avignon, she mentioned I should also hop on the plane and enjoy myself for a while. I surely wish I could have!

14 dresses and aprons were ordered in the most beautiful fabrics one has ever seen.

Blue plaid, Olive & Khaki Plaid, Navy Blue, beautiful Powder Blue and Charcoal Grey, and worn with Aprons of various solid colors.

During the last two weeks of making the dresses and aprons, I worked constantly, knowing that the end result of the labor would be beautiful. And as these pictures illustrate, it was.

I named the pictures when I viewed them, and I called this one above 'lying down'.

I will let you imagine a name for this picture, a vivid portrayal of emotions, well done.

'Reaching up to the Stars' was the only phrase I thought of for this lovely picture.

A huge THANK YOU to Societas Raffaelle in Italy for allowing Rachels' Seamstress Services to provide your theatrical attire for this special event. It is so special for a seamstress to see her garments, originating from a big bolt of fabric that was gently cut, sewn and completed with care, worn so lovely in a special theatrical production.
