Stark white fabrics, short sleeves and boxy silhouettes make up the foundation of each dress.

Only when you stand close do you see the uniqueness of each piece.

Family histories and the stories of ancestors create a pattern for the embroidery.

We each possess experiences of the past, hopes for the future and expectations for the present.

Wearing this dress is a way of identifying yourself.

Study every detail of the dress as you become connected to your inner and outer self.

Wearing this dress with confidence means you have found your identity with its design.
