Minimal Staff Reduces Expenses of an Express Car Wash

At Car Wash Pro Designers, we have over 4 decades of combined experience in designing, building, and operating car washes. We started work on our first car wash in 1991. It was a full-service facility that required 15 to 50 employees to be on the clock at any given time. While the car wash was a huge success, payroll was a major expense.

Selecting fabrics These are the initial fabrics I was thinking of for my base layer of my 1950s ‘Audrey’ dress. I think they match the colour of the design quite well, but when layered under a sheer fabric such as organza or lace, the colour seems to be lost quite substantially. I have now decided to go for a pink as the top layer and have selected a light pink floral lace over a darker base material. The final fabric choice I have gone for is taffeta (pictured in the last photograph) as it is very reminiscent of the period and manages to still look formal whilst being light and ‘summery’.  All samples are from fabric land and are under £5 a metre!

In our project, we are making our costumes for other members of the course, so I am having a costume made for me to wear at the end when we are assessed in a final film. The above picture is the 18th Century dress a member of my course is making for me to wear, along with an colour palette we are working from.
