With a princess cut, this elegant beaded gown has a back corset detail that laces up for the best fit while the long hip-skimming skirt opens in a side slit before reaching the floor
The best fabric depends on occasion, budget, and ethnic tradition: George fabric (heavy brocade) for high-end formal events, Ankara (African wax print) for versatile everyday traditional wear, hand-woven Aso-Oke for authentic Yoruba attire, and Akwete cloth for traditional southeastern styles
As 17 and 18 year-olds with little cash and little experience this was way over our heads
The mermaid silhouette flares gracefully at the hem with a flounced bottom skirt, creating a flattering and timeless shape
The sparkly fabric adds an elegant touch, while the low-cut neckline and cross-strap detail create a modern and chic look
My approach is simple: create photographs that feel natural, confident and genuinely representative of the person in front of the camera
