"..gamine innuendos..but knows Neruda by heart..."
This is the gown that Pambie wore for a wedding in 2006, as she was the reception host. She asked my Ma to make her one, and so came about the design as she sewed along, and of course my prodding. She asked for a saffron gown for a sunset- motif wedding, while Ma had a collection of fabric palette of golds and yellows. We just had to put them together and make it work.
On the first fitting its train dropped unexpectedly longer. We were awed, albeit hanging apprehension as she might garner more attention than the bride. Oh well, she is Pambie after all. She has the gift of gab poised for the sunset. She had a blast.
I recently added a bevy of sashes for the back detail, to heighten the spanish vibe.
Fleeced organza. Satin. Two- toned silk. Japanese shantung. Pearls. Crystals.
It won't be worn anytime soon though. I have yet to ask Iya, or do a fitting, see about including it on the list of outfits for the wedding day. Or just simply for her photo shoot. It's a Barong tagalog event anyhow.
Hugs for a great week!
