So, going into being a costume assistant i had no idea what i was getting myself into, and to be honest, it scared me senseless. But, i was determined to learn everything i could. At the beginning i was skittish and barely knew what to do, but Aly helped me feel less scared.
I really felt like someone believed in me, and i feel like that was really helpful in my decision to pursue a career in costume design, it also gave me the courage to do so. Being an assistant is one experience i would never give up for anything.
The most important lesson i learned was that sometimes people just need to bounce their ideas off of you, and sometimes you are allowed to have an opinion.
