If you could answer these questions that would be great.  i promise i
won't hassle you lots and lots but if you could get this back to me
asap that would be great. Also, I was wondering what kind of costume
design you do and if you could supply me with some pictures that i can
put in my project and some info on how long it takes you, the making,
your favourite fabrics, costume in theatre or anything even  and I
promise i'll put your name in the acknowledgements. If you can't supply
me with these things then it doesn't matter but thank you anyway.
