"The next day the magazine editor arrived. He said he had discovered a potential new photographer..." Naomi smiled at Baron...." and he wanted one of my models to pose for him, to see what he could do..."
Picture
"He liked my green floral evening gown, so I had our model try it on for him...."
Picture
"The gown could be worn two ways, one as a shorter elegant evening gown, and also full length as an extravagant ball or gala gown."
Picture
Picture
"The editor was very particular."
Picture
Picture
"He loved the colour, and the back bow...."
Picture
Picture
Picture
"But he really loved the longer version...."
Picture
Picture
"So he wanted the model to wear it for the 'test photo shoot'.....your test photo shoot"
Picture
"So that was the one we agreed upon."
Picture
"It really was a beautiful gown....."

I love how she is telling the back story of how they met.

The gown truly is lovely.

Yes, the story is coming back round to where it all began.

I to love that gown in the longer version. I am anxious to find out how Naomi ended up modeling her own fuchsia gown.

I also prefer the longer version. The dress was made with the long skirt separate in order to reduce the bulk on the bottom of the bodice.

It's so interesting watching the story unfold.

There are so many little details to discover in each picture. I love Naomi's jacket too!

Thanks. I've tried to make each scene as believable as possible.

I didn't have any modern clothes for Naomi, so made her two complete outfits of her own. One outfit was more 'everyday', and could be supplemented with items borrowed from my modern JID ladies. But I thought for her Fashion Showroom she'd need something more elegant, so made the jacket from an embroidered sari, and edged it with silk.
