Yemaya Fitting - New Actress

Janet, the original actress has unfortunately pulled out of the carnival due to injuring her knee, so we have a new actress coming in to be fitted. This doesn't worry me to much as back packs are usually very adjustable and fit a range of shapes. I also think Kat and Lucy are both very strong makers and will not have a problem with making fast alterations in order to not fall behind. This was the first fitting i seen the full costume together, body suit, sails and skirts. The new performer felt comfortable in the costume although some adjustments  were made to the strap system and i think the new strap system could be applied to other back packs - especially my own for the puppet.

New Straps system, crossing at the front and bolted to the back tray.
