Light floaty material that is designed to be worn extremely loose fitting in a very feminine style

Delicate, translucent material of a Somali bride’s wedding dress.

details of gold embroidery on Somali bride's wedding dress.

This delicate belt reminds me of one my maternal grandmother used to wear, except that hers was filigree silver rather than gold, but encompassed a similarly slim waist.

Such a beautiful hand..

Now this doesn't look anywhere near as elegant on me , as it would on one of the gorgeous Somali girls I photographed at this wedding!

The bride was so happy that I was going to join in with her  wedding day, whilst also being the professionally hired wedding photographer, that she gave  me this perfect blue floaty dress to wear.  Just wish I had the grace and skill to wear it as well as the girls did.  I would much rather have posted pics of them but etiquette prevails… xx Elaine Reel Life Photos
