Kim Humphries.

As we all know Kim Kardashian had her wedding last night and we are all dying to see her Vera Wang wedding dress.
 I have been searching the net but have only come across these pics.Not showing her gown.


Kim wore an ivory Vera Wang and the bridesmaids wore ivory . Kim's was a strapless gown with a fitted bodice, a traditionally-cut tulle skirt and a super long train, according to E! Her shoes were Guiseppe Zanotti and her hair was in an up-do, topped off by a jeweled headpiece and veil.

Garment number 6

This week i have been working on a new garment. We have two weeks per garment and I finished cutting out yesterday so today the sewing starts.  I am working with a beautiful pink printed chiffon ,but actually cutting and sewing this fabric is hell.

It takes a lot longer and all my seams have to be done as a "french seam".

Printed chiffon
I am sewing today and hoping to finish the skirt part of my dress. I will post pictures of my process soon.

We have been busy every day doing things from sewing on buttons,grading/cutting/marking patterns, we went to the CMT where they delivered patterns and showed us how they work.(Very different to us:)

We had a talk where they explained how their company works and all the different departments and how they got to where they are today.(They shared as much as how scary their first meeting  with YDE was)

What i love a lot about these labels is that their garments are 70% South African produced and only 20 % could be out sourced Internationally. This is a rule YDE is very strict with.

This is just a brief overview but i will keep you all updated on my every day experiences.

Have to go to bed.I HAVE SOME LEARNING TO DO TOMORROW:)
