'Oasis'



You will notice that the next few pieces will be in the same color but carries different patterns. This is because, I was requested to design a uniform for four usherettes for a wedding. Then I thought, why have four pieces of the same one? So, instead of doing just that, I designed four different pieces with different patterns but of the same colors. It turned out well and the Clients loved it! You can view the photo of the happy Clients in the "Gallery" section (under construction at the moment).

Back to this piece -- I was in my mom's garden and I was looking at her jasmine plant. It was all leaves and no flower. I circled the plant when I saw one white flower among all the leaves. It was the only jasmine flower there but it was so beautiful on its own. Hence, the idea of an 'oasis' came to my head and I started sketching this piece.

This is made into a 'baju kurung' and was hand-drawn onto Crepe.

'Medusa'



I was cracking my head trying to come up with a design for a Client (one of the grey-colored uniform for a wedding) while watching "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief". I was fascinated with the character "Medusa" and her head, of course. And so, I was inspired to create this.

Here, it is designed as a modern kurung. It would be ideal to also have it as a short dress.

'Alaia'



As you can see, this is another one of the lime green-colored uniform for a Client's wedding. 'Alaia' was designed for a very tall, slim woman. This was made into a modern kurung. It would look great too as a halter-neck dress.
