scene:1


scene:2
To eliminate wrinkles that could not be ironed, the petticoat of one of the uniforms is laid over a small table in the room. Humidity and time offer the perfect solution.
Overnight another uniform is laid out on the bed to keep it wrinkle free before hanging it on one of the mannequins awaiting at Convento del Carmen.
