Important Problem, and a Solution to go with it.

1. My Tailor yesterday only brought the 3 designs instead of 4 which i left her with last week, because one of the design seems kind of complicated. She brought the material back to my house yesterday and talked the problem out. The problem is, the yellow matterial which is made of pineapple tree, is too tough on the chiffon black material, which means it wouldn't fall as gracefully as the black chiffon.

2. She asked if I still want to use this material, but I was thinking, it wouldn't look good, wouldn't feel good (uncomfortable), and would probably be a waste of money D: So what we did was discuss it for quite a bit of time, and we considered a few ideas, such as changing the composition of the materials when sewed, a different sewing technique, and finally, the solution of the problem; to simply go with a different material for the yellow color. It would be the best solution because we can find a light weight material, perhaps the same as the black one, chiffon. It would fall in place easily, and would fall loosely on the black material.

3. First I felt a bit sad because I really like that yellow material, it's made out of pineapple plant woven together, has a different texture and look naturally shiny, perfect for a dress like the one I designed. I first thought it would be perfect, but of course there is no other way to make it work. If I don't change the material, there will be no yellow-black dress.
