What was your inspiration for your matric prom dress?
My mother started searching at the end of 2024 for the perfect dress. She forwarded a number of options but nothing that really inspired me until she came across a beautiful ballgown on Tiktok that I fell in love with. We worked with Leandra Fourie and used the Tiktok as the inspiration and tailored it to my body shape and vision. Its a combination between the bold gem look and the traditional princess dress. A dress that would be flattering but feminine showing that I am not afraid to be"girly". It reminds me of the shape of Tiana's dress in "The Princess and the Frog".
What was your favorite part of your matric prom dress?
It meant finally feeling confident around my peers and for the first time feeling like the center of attention.
