My dress design is inspired by a magical butterfly garden. I chose bright turquoise and pink because they are two of my favorite colors and they make me think of summer, happiness, and being confident on stage.

The butterflies are the most important part of my design. To me, butterflies represent growing and changing. I started Irish dancing when I was younger, and over the years I have grown a lot as a dancer. Like a butterfly, I am still becoming the dancer I want to be.

I wanted my dress to feel fun, colorful, and unique while still looking like an Irish dance dress.

Most of all, I want this dress to remind me to be confident, keep growing, and enjoy every moment of my Irish dancing journey.
