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.

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....

Then, with the second gown finally done, I decided to try it on Naomi after all...
