During these weeks I was busy finalising costume, attending rehearsals and working on the head pieces. I also had to make a tradition western wedding veil. So with the need for tulle I headed to what I had read was the largest fabric store in Rome - Fratelli Basetti Tessuti (Doesn't it have a ring to it!)

I hadn't yet had a chance visit the trade fairs in Paris with the fashion department back in Coventry so I was still a little naive to the amount of fabric one place can hold. Oh boy. This place was incredible. It had a double height ceiling, every inch filled with the most amazing fabrics. I took the time to rub a fair few of them in between my thumb and finger, getting a good feel of their luxury.
I also started a part-time job at a tourist restaurant which is a great way for my Italian speaking as most of the chefs do not speak English. Having a job alongside my intern-ship whilst still continuing my job in the UK as the promotional/graphic designer for my local bar is teaching me to manage my time effectively and follow through with my own deadlines that I set. My time keeping skills improved massively and I am now certainly seeing the benefits.
