Hey there :)
Working on this one was really quite a journey- initially the doubts were there but it became clearer yesterday and today on how I wanted this to be.
This piece means so much to me in so many ways, to be in line with my goals and the values I believe in.
I wanted it to be modest, all covered up, but still look stunning for a special occasion.
Eventually, I'll be responsible for the modesty of the wearer. It is easy to fall into creating something revealing which will turn heads and get the attention but I don't want to be held responsible for the wrong kind of gazes.
I'd just like to keep working on in this direction- to come up with creations that are sophisticated, classy, elegant, respectable- and it can easily be worn with a headscarf or hijab if the wearer wants to :)
Pretty much had put my heart and soul into this one.
And I'm still going to add more Swarovski crystals to the gown! Love how it sparkles and have a rainbow effect.
Love,
Sarah Zainal
