Every Penny Counts!

Maths has never been a strong point, and who'd have thought there would be so much math in costume! Budgeting for moving tides has been one of the trickiest and most daunting tasks ive had to do for moving tides. Creating multiples of one costume means having exactly the right materials and measurments, there is no guessing allowed, and then on top of that getting it for the cheapest prices so hunting through suppliers for deals and discounts always helps. This is definatly and area that could not be done last minute, and things will always be moving around. VAT and delivery are another tricky aspect, which suppliers include it, which dont, who ships for free, who charges per iteam. this ius where a lot of my last minute expense came from, forgetting to include VAT and delivery when pricing materials meant i had to revisit ever supplier and price list to get my total value; and at the end of the day this isnt my money, if i mess up this full costume could go bad!
