Rosa has been a taylor for most of her life and I discovered that years ago she sewed the bridal gown for her niece, so I thought it would be nice to ask her something about the work!

There’s the interview:

How was born the idea?
Actually, it seemed stupid to us going to buy some expensive bridal gown when there was a taylor in the family! The model was suggested by a friend of mine, a modeller that had her shop in Piazza Carroccio and saw that fanciful dress on a magazine… We suddenly loved the idea and so the work started!
What about the material you used?
We bought everything from “Lorenzo Tessuti”, that was my trusted suppliers. My niece came with me to “touch” what would be made of her future dress.
How much time do you need to complete the dress?
More or less I employed two months
There was an interaction between you and the model?
Continuosly! You know, when you are sewing a dress tailor you always want the model to try it, to see if it does fit well.
It was the first time that you tried your’s hand at creating a bridal gown?
Oh no! I did eleven bridal gowns at all, before and after my niece’s (I have a lot of relatives!) and everytime for free, so I can’t tell you a price range for them… I did one even for my sister!
Did you do all the work alone?
Absolutely! I am a little bit jealous of my professional secrets.
Were you satisfied of the result?
Of course… It was a wonderful dress, exactly how we wanted it to be!
