That was pretty interesting, wasn't it? I did find the captions to the photos a bit puzzling at first, since they describe the finished piece rather than the muslin itself. Still, I was fascinated to see those garments in muslin form.

Thanks for that . So interesting .I am fascinated by that process. 150 hours for a coat ! I hope that the owner appreciates it . I suppose when you have buckets of money maybe there is the temptation to just buy what you want without really being aware of the effort and thought which has gone into it.
