Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your concerns, prayers and encouraging words on my last post about earthquake. We are still experiencing some aftershocks, possible power shortage etc, but all my family and I are safe and okay.
I wanted to post something quick, and something a bit cheerful in this hard times. I talked about working on a photo shoot with a theme “Secret Garden” a couple of weeks ago, and I think I can show you the lookbook pictures soon (possibly tomorrow!). But before that, here are the dresses on dress form I made for the shoot. I used some old patterns here and there, as you can see from the cut out back dress and sweet heart cut out dress. I am in love with the fabrics I used, especially the Eiffel tower one (last pic)! Don’t you think it’s so adorable? I found the fabric in Nippori, and I really had to take it home. Anyway, I’ll talk more about the inspiration and the shoot itself tomorrow.
