Ciara did everything herself. First, she hired someone to create a design but she didn’t like it. So the student and her mom bought 13 yards (nearly 12 meters) of fabric, crinoline, boning, and Swarovski crystals.

“My mom and I sewed each panel of the skirt one by one,” she said. Ciara also noted that it took her 5 whole days to paint the flowers! That required patience, dedication, and focus.

“I recently reread the book, Tiger Lily, by Jodi Lynn Anderson (which touched my heart) and then decided to paint the orange florals.point 223 |

I strayed away from basic roses and dainty florals because although they’re pretty, they don’t reflect my personality.point 105 | I love the vibrancy of loud colors like orange and green—they speak more about who I am.point 179 | ”point 182 | 1

According to Ciara, she made her dress emerald green because she’s a huge Harry Potter fan and, in her own words, “a proud Slytherin.”

“When I first showed up at the event place, one of my classmates took a double-take to make sure what he was seeing was right! He told me, ‘I thought it was printed!’” she said.

Ciara got the appreciation and it has helped get her art career underway: she’s receiving lots of requests for commissions and artworks. “It warms my heart to see people appreciating my art,” she said.
