This dress was pretty crazy to make just because I had to do 4 separate FBAs because each layer of the wrap front needed an FBA on each side. It was kind of complicated to figure out but I think it worked out ok.
It was a really fun dress to wear and I think the print looks amazing in these photos.
The other photographer's wife and I took turns being the model so sometimes I got to hold the reflector.
We also went to a hat store down town called Brim. It was super fun trying on hats.
This hat so had my name written all over it!
I also adored this great tilt hat! Alas, both were way out of my budget.
I had such a blast hamming it up for the camera!
