After a telephone call with the director I am now getting the money I requested up front. She did ask if I could get it in installments...I said no! You have no idea how proud I am of myself for being firm, I usually cave in but I was determined it would not happen this time and it didn't. I will be getting the money at the cast meal when the pantomime is announced and scripts go out.
I do know what we are doing but I'm not supposed to say anything until it is officially announced so I will be good and say nothing.
But what is happening now is I am thinking of what costumes will be needed, lets just say my peasant costumes were not a waste of time lol
I have just finished off the green version of the bodice which has a bit of trim on the front to offset the pale colours of the other two. This one is bigger and goes from a size 20 down, it is on the size 10 dummy and not laced up tight.
I have a patterned blouse to go under the pink and think the green needs a plain white blouse to lift the colouring. I'm not sure about the blue but I will find something suitable in time.
This means I have four peasant lady costumes as I already had the Snow White costume to reuse.
I am now planning a shopping trip to get the fabric as Norfolk really doesn't have that choice. I am lucky my husband hails from Bolton so we tend to combine a family visit with a fabric shopping session. I also plan to order some trims from America. They are so much cheaper there it pays to get the bulk orders and pay the duties and postage! It is a shame that I have to pay the vat as they are not donated even though it is for a charity, but that is the government for you lol
