The modeling of the dusty envelope of `very late' He-flash star, Sakurai's Object, is described. Increasing amounts of dust were expelled from the star from 1997 and onwards. The luminosity of the star increased 2.5 times during 1996-1998 but the temperature remained nearly constant after 1997. It was found that the scenario of dust formation at a distance of about 20 R* applies better than the very close condensation conjecture.
