Originally, the idea behind this dress sparked from my grandmother’s favorite flower, the peony. I chose the colors of the dress specifically to match those of peonies as a way to honor her as she unfortunately did not live long enough to see me at my senior prom. Later in the dress-making process, I realized that my high school’s prom theme this year was supposed to be “The Rose Garden.” Therefore, I combined both of those concepts into a vibrant gown that illustrates the beauty, optimism, and serenity celebrated in the garden of roses and peonies; those flowers and colors act as a symbol of the everlasting youth found in the vivacious garden of life.
