Says Eleanor (who, among other things, tackled the ginormous task of sitting in for Nicole while she was in Europe and lived to talk about it): Let’s face it, any internship involving super cute party dresses, in-studio photo shoots and insane sample sales can’t be half bad, right? My thoughts, exactly. After my summer at Thread, I can find my way to Conde Nast walking backwards, cut the perfect fabric swatch, and, of course, look super cute while doing it all.

Says Kathryn (pattern-maker extraordinaire and budding investigative photographer): You always hear these horror stories about interns fetching coffee and manning the desks; at Thread I’ve done nothing even close to those things. Seeing all of the work and detail it takes to make just one of these lovely dresses is just insane, so when I was asked to assist with some pattern-making, I couldn’t believe it, thinking, “Uh, really? I’m just an intern.” (Now, of course, I think I’m quite the connoisseur when it comes to pattern-making!)

Says Us at Thread (who don’t know what the H we are going to do when all these gals leave us oh-so shortly): Aw, thanks, guys! We shall miss you.

[Ed. Note: And no, we did not put them up to this. Well, not really.]
