Where it all begins
Castillo says each of the gowns takes about two months to complete - if he were working on a single gown at a time. That is not the case when it comes to Fiesta. This year he has been working on four gowns simultaneously. So, though he has the help of trained assistants, with all the fabric preparations, fittings, consultations, etc., the process can stretch out to 8 months long.
