The Fashion Showroom

"The Costume Shop was very successful, and we had to expand and hire lots more help."

"Then, having passed off much of the actual sewing work, I thought it was time to finally get into haute couture gowns as well. So we expanded once again, and with awards season just around the corner, I started a Fashion Showroom featuring my own designs.
​It was a very elegant looking space..."

"My assistants and I were busy putting the final touches on several gowns."
Picture
"I had been contacted by the editor of a prestigious fashion magazine...."
Picture
"...and he wanted to do a feature article on my designs."
Picture
"...so we were under pressure to get everything done."

'That looks amazing!'

'Looks like everything will be ready for tomorrow.'

I simply love that pale green strapless gown adorned with roses. I would love to wear that myself.

Thanks. It was inspired by a gown by Stella De Libero. Check out her work. She does the most amazing extravagant gowns. She's even done a similar version in pink.

Naomi's shop and showroom are wonderful. There are so many tiny details that the more you look, the more you see!

I love all the sketches of your designs on display. The shop is a perfect place to bring all your different kinds of costumes together in one perfectly logical place for them to be.

When this story ends, I'll be sad that there isn't a "next episode" to look forward to, although I'm sure you'll be delighting us with something else new each day :o)

I really enjoyed this whole complex story, but after focussing pretty much exclusively on it for four entire months, it's high time some of my other dolls got some attention. Although I can promise that even after this story ends, we won't have seen the last of Baron and Naomi.

An elegant design room, a talented female staff, beautiful gowns. Definitely a dream come true.
