Satin & Organza Flower Girl’s Dress

October 3, 2014 By Chie

Flower Girl1

I made this flower girl’s dress for Kiko for my brother’s wedding last weekend. We don’t have a custom of flower girl or ring boy in Japan, so the made-up function for her at the wedding was a “ring girl”, who brought the wedding rings up to the bride and groom during the ceremony. I was not sure how she can handle it without being shy or running away, but she actually seemed to have enjoyed the task!

My brother’s wedding was the day after we came back from our vacation, so I was in such a hurry in the morning and forgot to take my camera. So today, we went to a nearby park and waited for a sunset to take these pictures.

I made the dress in matte satin and matching color organza. The organza skirt has three layers and the dress is fully lined. I added three flowers in the front chest area, made with satin and pearls. I have not posted this on etsy or my shop, but it is available upon request in any color of your choice! Contact me from here.

先週の弟の結婚式のために、フラワーガールのドレスを作りました。
表布はサテンとオーガンジー。
胸のあたりは手縫いで作ったお花で飾りました。

実際の結婚式では、残念ながらカメラを忘れて行ってしまったので、後日近くの公園で撮影。
夕方の、おひさまが沈む時を狙って、シャッターをきってみました♪

ドレスは、まだショップには載せていないのですが、リクエストがあれば、何色ででもお作りできます。

Video// Shinjyuku Okadaya & Online Shopping

August 24, 2014 By Chie

I went to Shinjyuku Okadaya for fabric shopping yesterday! I avoided going there for a while since Shinjyuku is so crowded all the time, and the summer heat has been unbearable. In this video, I’m showing you what I got – mostly wedding dress related sewing material, including veil, tulle, bonnet, sparkly sash belt etc.

Kyoto Lace Shop Matsumura Shoten //京都のレース屋 松村商店

In the video, I’m wearing the tank dress I made myself. I also made the pendant myself from the charm I found in my mom’s closet and the leather strap from a craft shop.

Hope you’ll like the video! Comment down below to let me know if you have any questions or requests:)

mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux // New Bridal Lookbook

Vivat Veritas Bridal Lookbook 2014 Boho Wedding Custom Dress

It’s funny how opportunities can roll in while sitting on a couch, relaxing and scrolling down the instagram feed. I found Lisa’s feed from someone else’s and could not stop favoriting her photos. She is an amazing photographer! Especially this one and this one. Her photos have their own uniquness to them; and you are left with a dreamy fairy tale feel like after looking at her photos. It also happened that we have worked with some people in the past. Tokyo English speaking fashion/photography world is such a small world!

Anyway, we met up one day in June to shoot with a model Maria at Hibiya park. I had never been to Hibiya park prior to this, but it is a must-visit place. It is much more calm than the famous Yoyogi park. Lots of flowers and quiet paths. Unfortunately, right when we tried to shoot, it started to pour, but we went on to shoot anyway. I wasn’t sure how it would work out, but It gave the photos pretty melancholy feel, and I quite like it. Vivat Veritas Bridal Lookbook 2014 Boho Wedding Custom Dress 2 Vivat Veritas Bridal Lookbook 2014 Boho Wedding Custom Dress3

I made the title of the lookook, “mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux”. It means “Rainy wedding, happy marriage” in French.
Check out the full lookbook here.

“mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux”とはフランス語で、「雨の日の結婚式は幸せをよぶ」という意味があるそうです。
雨の日の結婚式はネガティブなイメージがありますが、こんな素敵な言い伝えがあるなんて、素敵です★

Lookbookの写真は、日比谷公園で撮影。
フォトグラファーはLisaさん。
彼女のとるナチュラル且つ夢の中のおとぎ話の様な雰囲気、すごく好きです。
家族写真やポートレートもやっているそうなので、今度、家族3人で記念にとってもらおうと思っています。
