Naomi's Wedding Gown
Even though Naomi and Baron's wedding was still several months off, I wanted to make her gown nice and early. I had originally wanted it to be a pale blue or green, but I didn't have anything in my stash those colours. Then I came across a pale yellow sari that I'd had for years, and was saving for something special. Well, the time had finally come.
I was going to make two identical gowns, one for my Naomi, and one for a friend's Bianca. I took photos of Naomi working on hers....

Bianca modelled the first gown when it was finished....
Naomi continued to work on the second gown....
I made a fine wreath of flowers and a veil, which could be worn draped over her face....
...or just draping down the back...
Photographed in a golden light....
...and in the sun....
When Baron comes home after weeks away, he notices she's working on something...
...so she tells him it's her wedding dress, and it's supposed to be a surprise, and distracts him...
Then, with the second gown finally done, I decided to try it on Naomi after all...
Some studio shots of Naomi and Bianca together....
Then Naomi in the sun....
...and with the veil covering her face....
