As an assistant costume designer one gets to do fun things like sew 50 billion roses. I kid, it only felt like there were that many! They were done as a millinery project for the show “Flea in Her Ear”. David (the designer extraordinaire) wanted them on a hat and matching cape set he had sewn up for a character named Lucienne.
Note: The rose making technique came from an old issue of Threads.
