A special visit--and a special dress

This week we have been enjoying a lovely visit from a designer friend of Larissa's, who has turned our family room into an atelier, complete with busy sewing machine, lowly assistants (Larissa and her mom) and yards of silk organza. Today the bridal gown is taking its final shape. This is a big thank-you to this wonderful person, who wishes not to be named, not only for her expertise, but for her friendly presence all week.

In her current life, our friend designs little boys' clothing, which does not involve any use of delicate silk or dainty pleating, so a bridal dress, she says, is a welcome change of pace.

Watch this blog for photos of the final creation, making its appearance in August!
