Inspiration
My inspiration for this dress comes from "Butterfly Waltz", which is a song my sister loves to play on piano. It has a delicate and beautiful melody, so I tried to reflect that in my butterfly themed prom dress. I chose sophisticated colors that tie into the graceful demeanor of the butterfly. The Blue Morpho, an endangered butterfly from South America, acted as my color palette for this project. I have always loved the look of lace overlaid on a solid color, so I made sure to incorporate that in my dress. Cutting, weeding, and placing the lace was by far the most challenging part, but the result ended up being my most favorite detail. The way the black contrasts with the navy blue background and the holographic butterflies is very elegant and I'm so proud! The light blue skirt was made to resemble an open cocoon, where the butterflies have emerged from.
