Inspiration:
My dress was inspired by military children. I am a military kid myself and have always resonated deeply with dandelions as the representation of these strong, brave, courageous, and resilient kids who can bloom anywhere in the world. I made this dress both for myself and to be a beacon of light for military kids to show that they are not alone. I chose my dress colors as purple, gold, and white as purple is the color of the military child, gold to compliment the purple, and white as a pop of a different color and to help the contrast of the dandelions. I think the hardest part was making the skirt as it took five rolls of purple Duck Tape and a lot of patience to cut out both of the dandelions and a bunch of dandelions seeds. My accessories include a bouquet of roses, a Duck Tape woven clutch, a pair of gold shoes with a mini purple bow, a purple headband, and a princess cape. To be honest I really had no plan or ideas on how to make the dress and kind of just winged the entire thing but I am so happy and proud of how it turned out and cannot express my gratitude toward everyone who supported me during this process!
