Now, Aeran is not the same size as an FID. She's shorter, slimmer, and is nowhere near as well endowed up front. But I was surprised the gown wasn't nearly as big on her as I'd imagined, and she looked really good in it, so I took some photos...
I was thinking of tackling the beginning and end of the story I shot almost ten years ago. The main character, Aeran, was going to need a gown for her coronation. I went through my boxes of fabrics and chose some, but the fabrics didn't drape very well. It was exhausting to even think about making an elaborate gown just for a few photos. So I thought I'd try the gold FID gown no one was wearing. It took me a month to bead, back when I made it, and then it seemed too fancy for everyday wear, so has been stored away in a box ever since. Now, Aeran is not the same size as an FID. She's shorter, slimmer, and is nowhere near as well endowed up front. But I was surprised the gown wasn't nearly as big on her as I'd imagined, and she looked really good in it, so I took some photos... It will need some strategic pinning to make the fit look perfect, but it saves me a lot of work. So Aeran has her coronation gown, for whenever she will need it....

I've always loved this particular gown and wondered where it went. Heh, kept hoping it might show up for sale. ;-) But it looks like your beautiful girl has claimed it for her own and she looks beautiful in it.

It doesn't actually fit her - I just tried it on to see if it would - so she's back in her default outfit, and will borrow this gown at some point later this year.

Aeran is such a beautiful doll. For a gown that doesn't actually fit, it certainly manages to look pretty wonderful! I'll be looking forward to seeing her in it again.

Thanks. I know. I was surprised. With some pins and careful camera angles, it will work just fine, and it saves me a lot of work making another just her size.

She is so pretty. The gown just makes her prettier. Comments are closed.
