No I'm not posting this on the wrong blog - all is not as it might seem.
As I've mention before I have written a play called "For Better or Worse" which is being performed on Saturday 26th September by a small local Amateur Theatre Group.
As well as writing the piece I have taken on the roles of Director, Producer and Wardrobe Mistress. I also designed the flyer and souvenir programme. It's been a lot of hard work but it's been fun. On Sunday it should all come together at our dress rehearsal.
I've begged and borrowed things like a wedding dress, dinner suit, bow ties, fancy hats and even a surplice and cassock which is no mean feat in rural France. As the bride is pregnant (sh! don't tell anyone) I've had to make a convincing bump for her to wear. I've made the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid's posy and numerous buttonholes. Yesterday I pressed the wedding dress (which is over 30 years old) and was terrified that I might scorch it. It's been hanging up in my lounge for a few weeks now and I was rather hoping that the folds might simply drop out ... but they haven't!
Getting hold of gents suits or jackets over here is nigh on impossible. Most of the expats have cast aside all but casual wear. My biggest task (which I've just started) is to turn a size 18 ladies jacket into a gents dinner jacket to fit a very young best man. Not only do I have to make sure that the jacket fastens the right way but I have to make it double breasted to fit his small frame. The bottom has to be turned up by about 4 inches and the sleeves by about 5 inches. So you see it's not all glitz and glamour.
The event is going to be videoed and we have an official photographer to give an authentic touch to the proceedings. I'll post some photos as soon as I can.
Right back to the sewing 
Perhaps a quick cup of coffee first?

Best of luck.
