A MILLION DOLLARS MATRICULATION DRESS🧑‍🎓🧑‍🎓

I had gained admission into the university a couple months ago and I was so excited to be a university girl but now it is totally official, because after my matriculation, I have fully become a student of this prestigious school.

The ceremony was held in our school auditorium on the 19th of July and all the 100lv students were so excited about it because we would fully become students but most especially because we had a legal reason to party and dress up.

I of course did not want to fall behind in the dressing up department but unfortunately just like every typical jobless student I was totally broke. I couldn't pay for make up because it was ten times the usual amount that day and clothes were so expensive to purchase.
So I did the most logical thing any proud seamstress could do. I went to my mother's untouched box of wrappers (fabric) and picked out the most colorful one I could find because it was a joyful day and I made a beautiful dress out of it. I didn't realize how useful having a handwork was until that moment. I was so happy I had decided to learn sewing.

At first I had felt insecure about using an Ankara material because every one would be wearing english clothes but when I wore the dress and looked in the mirror,🥰🥰 I packaged my insecurities in a nylon bag and threw them out the window because I was GIVING!!!

I had more fun than I could imagine that day because my family and friends were there to support me in that beautiful occasion that happens once in a lifetime. A few weeks before the event I had decided that I wouldn't attend the ceremony because I was short on money but my sister convinced me to just make a dress in case I changed my mind and I'm grateful she did because immediately I finished making the dress and then put it on, I knew in my body, soul, heart and spirit that I would one thousand and one percent be attending. I wasn't wearing any makeup, or new shoes, or new hair but I felt like a million dollars baby because of the dress I made and wore. My coursemates were so surprised when they found out I made the dress myself, some of them didn't even believe me and said I was lieing. I had to show them a video of me in action ( on the sewing machine) just so they would believe and I kinda have my fingers crossed hoping they would be giving me orders soon.
