Rochester, MN Music Dress | Nicole Mills Photography
Ever since I caught the bug for designing one-of-a-kind gowns for photo shoots at Nicole Mills Photography, I've been on the lookout and finding inspiration everywhere! About six months ago, while hitting an estate sale, I came across an entire set of music books. I snatched them up and starting planning a music dress!
I found the perfect wedding dress at my local Goodwill to use/recycle for this music gown. And of course, the cat was standing by to test the softness of the pages after they were properly crumpled for fabric like softness! I used a product called Wonder Under to adhere the music pages to the gown. It got more difficult the further up the dress I was working, so some hot glue and glue sticks came into play also...and the cat continued to provide her assistance with quality control. The last photo in this group is a background I attempted with music sheet covers.
After the dress was finished, I was on the hunt for a lovely violinist to model it for me. Savannah is in the orchestra with my neighbor's son, and she happily agreed to come up to my studio in Pine Island to model it for me, complete with violin, of course! She looked absolutely beautiful in the gown, and brought it to life while playing her violin. Thank you Savannah!
I still have this gown in my studio and have plans to add a short cape for it, and will then photograph it again...hopefully soon...although I've already been distracted by designing a few more additional gowns!
