Fabrics and Dilema's

Fabrics
Jess, our buyer, has returned triumphant from fabric hunting in London! Not only did she get all of the London fabrics we asked for but she also managed to find some fantastic alternatives to replace the fabrics that were no longer available. We have now got a replacement fabric for the missing Greengages knitted jersey in the form of a beautiful multi-toned green/brown netlike, almost mossy fabric that is fantastically textural and should work amazingly well with the textural techniques that our recruited second years will be starting on the week after next.
 
Fittings
Another dilema has once again reared its head in the form of fittings - What do you do when one of your actors doesn't turn up to his fitting - for the third time?
 
This is the unfortunate reality we are facing, and when it is for a principal character, and when in the absence of the supervisors your makers come to you to ask where he is and you can't answer, it is not a comfortable situation. Unfortunately my supervisors were both unavailable today on other projects, and I was unable to ask them for advice - therefore I have been advised to speak to my tutors tomorrow in the hopes that we can find a solution as, while this kind of thing does happen, with the production swiftly approaching and the maker not being able to proceed until the fitting is done it is a problem that needs to be resolved swiftly.
