We’ve been calling this the ‘sculpture dress’ because it reminds us of classical marble sculptures ☺️ taken in London, United Kingdom by @mai.ardour

As the name suggests, I designed this dress for my own graduation. At the time, I was finishing my mathematics degree and feeling uncertain about the future. But while I wasn’t sure what life after university would look like, I knew exactly how I wanted to feel on graduation day - beautiful and comfortable. So I designed a dress. I created a silhouette that accentuated the waist and hips, and chose a length that complemented the proportions of my graduation robe. Knowing that most of the dress would be hidden beneath it, I added small details that could peek through, like a fluttering hem, contrasting binding and a sweetheart neckline. It means so much to me that the dress I made for myself during this time, can now be yours. I hope you love it as much as I do <3

The Graduation Dress is available to buy via the link in my bio!

Thank you to all the talented people who brought this shoot to life ~

I’ve spent the last few years refining one of my favourite designs: the Graduation Dress.
Along the way, I’ve made a few changes - a soft jersey lining for more structure, bust and back darts for a better fit, and adjustable cotton straps. It’s taken time to find the right fabrics and manufacturers to work with, but after a lot of sampling, I’m so excited to finally introduce my first ready-to-wear piece.
Ready to wear, yours to keep <3
