Flower Girls

6/1/2022

When trying to choose who to ask to be a flower girl at her upcoming wedding, Naomi decided that she couldn't just ask the King and Queen's two daughters. There were five little Princesses, and she didn't want to hurt any of them and leave any of them out. So she asked all five.

Which meant making dresses for them.  Two girls - Faye and Judith - were already wearing blue dresses, so that seemed like a good colour choice.

 I decided I did not want a set of five identical, frilly, one-time-use dresses, but would rather make slightly different Fantasy Medieval styled gowns all in different blue fabrics, so they could be worn again. I decided to make a smaller BID size version of Faye's dress, a bigger KID size version of Judith's dress, and a third new combo. So I went through my fabric stash...and got started...

I decided to work on all three at the same time, knowing it would be more motivating than doing one entire new dress at a time.  First to be finished was the simpler new style dress...

I like that Naomi chose to make the dresses in the same color palette but different. Naomi is so creative and, I think, she would want to show her talent as this is the first time the realm will get to see work on such a grand scale.

They are so lovely! Now I'm counting the days until summer when the Big Day arrives. Baron and Naomi's wedding will be a feast for the eyes. It will be spectacular!
Will Baron have some little groomsmen to accompany the bridesmaids?

I'm hoping their wedding will live up to everyone's expectations.

No, there will not be a hoard of little groomsmen. There might be a ring bearer, but that would be it.

Wow, these minigowns are lovely, I admire your patience with sewing of these tiny parts together.
