While the cast and crew were on location, a new scene was written necessitating the ad hoc making of a casual outfit for Mia Farrow. Anthony Powell would recall: "We were in Egypt and the middle of nowhere, so I thought: 'What can I make it of?' We had just enough pale blue silk in the workshop [for] pyjama trousers but...to make [a suitable] top...there was nothing at all." Powell happened to catch sight of the mother of one of his assistants while the woman was cooking paella "using...this tea towel covered in grease and garlic and olive oil [: the towel] was white linen with multi-coloured stripes...just [visible] through all the grease...So we boiled it and boiled it till it was sort of [clean] and we whizzed up this very pretty little waistcoat." Powell had Farrow try-on the pyjama suit without speaking of its provenance, the latter commenting: "This is very pretty, but can you smell garlic?" (Powell claimed not to.)
