Sonyabackclose.jpgSonyaside.jpgSonyagarter.jpgSonyafront.jpgMy dearest friend's daughter is getting married in a couple of weeks. Sonja's a girl who has everything...in more ways than one! Apart from being gorgeous and talented, she has a home already complete with all the normal "wedding present type items", so I was at a loss as to what to give her until her mom suggested I make her a bear.

Well after a lot of studying the sneaky photos her mom took of her dress...this is what I designed for Sonja.

The gown is made of ivory silk and has an overlay of tulle on the skirt, rouched tulle on the bodice with beading at the front. The back of the bodice is laced with satin ribbon and the edge of the veil is edged in satin ribbon. She also wears a tiara in her hair and a blue garter on her leg.

EDIT: The bear and the gown is totally sewn by hand.

Thanks Bron and Ali ... Sonja's mom (Vera) dropped in tonight to see how I was going and just loved her, so I guess Sonja will be happy with her bear too.
