I went on work experience for 1 week from 22nd - 26th March at Angels the Costumiers in London. I was very excited to get this experience and when I went to the interview, I was informed that I would be working in the warehouse. This would include sorcing items, putting back returns, tidying and any other little jobs. I thought this would be better than working in alterations and making because I already know I like that area of costume. My aim was to experience a different area of jobs in the costume industry.
The result was I could easily imagine myself working in the Angels Warehouse. It was a good experience in the way of showing me a different area. However, I still feel I'd prefer to work in making and alterations just because that's what I prefer to do.
The collegues working in the warehouse had all unknowingly developed a characteristic of walking very fast, let alone having to be physically fit to have to deal with the job.
The bad aspect of this experience was that there wasn't really much to do. I just wandered around a lot of the time asking if anyone needed help with anything.
The best part of this week was sorting the 'women's rough' section from years 00's to 50's. All the costumes were mixed up and we had to sort them into the different eras. This was perfect at developing my knowledge of those eras and I now feel I could spot the difference between women's clothing in those decades more easily.
