Meet Rae, fulfillment assistant and F.R.I.E.N.D.S. #1 fan:
Can you describe your role at Truvelle?
Being a Fulfilment Assistant means I check over the dresses as they come up in their different stages. I will check over and make sure the condition of the gowns and the fabric is up to our standards and ensure the dress was made correctly according to the P.O.
What does your typical day look like?
Each day is different, it depends on what is priority that day. When the dresses/skirts come up to be checked I measure them to make sure they are the right size, clean up any loose threads, check them over for any flaws in the fabric or construction, fix them if needed, and add the finishing touches.

Is there anything most people get wrong about your job, or is there something that might surprise brides to learn about your job?
I feel like brides would be surprised by how many times a single dress gets checked over. I check the fabric before it’s made into a skirt, check over the skirt once it’s made, and then check over the entire dress once the bodice is attached to the skirt. After I’m done checking a dress, it goes for one final check over and then is shipped off!
What is your favourite dress?
Andrianna.
How would you style it?
I would keep it simple and classic and style it with a simple low bun, classy pearl drop earrings, and cute flats that I will feel comfortable in all day and can dance all night in.
