Nigerian designer, Veekee James has once again proven her innovative spirit, commitment to excellence, and her ability to effortlessly bring her creative ideas to life.

For the after-party look of the stunning bride, Nashaira Belisa, Veekee transformed her into a shimmering, glistening butterfly. As always, she shared the intricate design process with us, from the initial sketch to the first fitting, which revealed a corset and a stiff fabric. The second fitting showed the design taking shape, complete with cutouts and lines for the beading, leading to the painstaking final beading process.

What’s so striking about the dress is that it doesn’t just give the illusion of a butterfly; the look, feel, and even the fabric’s weight truly mimic a butterfly. How delighted and beautiful the bride felt in it is a testament to Veekee James’ creativity and her attentiveness to her client’s wishes.
