Thursday Threads: 5 Hands, 1 Hem

Is it weird that today I got sort of an adrenaline rush when there were 5, yes 5, of us all hand sewing around the hem of an evening gown to get it finished in time for the dress rehearsal? I felt a little giddy afterward.

The MN Opera's Cosi Fan Tutte opens this weekend. It will hopefully be a fun, smooth run. The costume shop has been down to the wire, finishing hems and fixing ballgowns for opening night, when the two leading ladies will literally shine and sparkle on stage. The costume designer for this has also designed some gowns for Disney World, of which I am completely jealous. The fabric that my team used to create the blue ballgown for Fleurdiligi is the same fabric that Cinderella dons at the park to greet many a Disney fan.

Fun Fact about this show: one of the 4 main characters is named Guglielmo.

  1. That's funny about the name. Maybe someday you'll get to do some work for Disney. You never know.
