About this event
Experience and learn about the production processes of performance dresses including Ballroom & Latin dresses, costumes as seen on Strictly Come Dancing, well known West End Shows and prestigious Film Productions. We will explain the history of the company and how the company evolved from its roots in the Peggy Spencer dance studio into the largest manufacturing site within the London area. We will highlight the challenges UK manufacturing faces and the mindset, comittment and skill sets required to meet all these tight deadlines. We will reveal where we source our fabrics from and why stocking colour co-ordinated materials is so essential for our operation.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have. We will finish this experience with a walk through the showroom, our stock rooms and all production facilities including our magical decoration department.
Allow 2 hours for your "Behind the Seams" experience.
