She took a month to come with the concept and the draft of the design.
It took her another a week and a half to sew it and five days to paint the flowers.
“I made the dress during our graduation practices so I was jumping between school and home,” she said.
Ciara is planning to further her studies in BS Management Information Systems in Ateneo de Manila University soon.
