"My dream had come true, and I had my own Costume shop...."

"..and I hired two friends from Fashion School to be my assistants."

"Over the next few years, we got the costume contracts for several major theatre productions...."

"So we were always very busy..."

"...almost too busy."

This photo story is absolute perfection; the sets, the costumes, the dolls and the accessories have my drooling. Your work is exquisite.

Thank you so much!

I really liked this set. It was the most complex one that I've ever put together. So I figured I should take advantage of it, and went a little overboard taking photos in it, even though I only needed a handful for this story. So when I get all of them processed I'll be making a separate album just on Naomi's Costume Shop, and Fashion Showroom.

This set really is amazing. I don't know, where to look first.
The story is real artwork. I love everything.

Thank you!

There is definitely an awful lot of stuff in those scenes - as there should be. And it's only Naomi's front show room, since there's clearly no space for a cutting table, the endless bolts of fabric & trims, the rows of sewing machines and extra staff. But there's a limit to what I can actually set up. So it's just a taste of what she was doing.

Well, costumes for theatre...hmmm...where could that idea have originated (smile)?

It is amazing the work you have put into the outfits and the set design. It definitely looks like an actual Costume Shop.

I really liked the Curiosity Shop series. I like this one just as much!

Hmmmm....maybe because most of the doll outfits I have made are historical and fantasy costumes, and I have to go with what I have available.

The purple gown is beautiful and of course Christine’s gown for Phantom. I wonder did any fairy God Mothers come from the past to commission a gown...just to check her out as a potential bride for Baron. Naomi is so talented that she could have created Baron’s mother’s gown. Have you thought about creating a series with clues amid the sets? For the reader to find. Clues to the story or individual characters.

There are already clues hidden in the photos. Have you taken a close look at the gold gown on the left page that little Naomi had drawn in her sketch book?

Its what she is wearing now!!!! I wonder if its real or she is daydreaming within a daydream. I wouldnt want to wake from the daydream.

Yes, it's the gown she magically ends up wearing in Baron's world. I have no idea how that happened.
