Hello Hive

Its an exciting morning for me today, the victory isn't complete yet but seeing the signs of victory is more than enough for me.
I feel fulfilled
How I pushed through all the challenges confronting me to have reached this level with the current task at hand I cannot explain.

The vision took so much time and
extra financial burden I wasn't ready for the disappointments, stress and everything that worked against seeing this project to the finish line is now behind me.

Now I truly understand what people go through to start their own career, the challenges they encounter to fulfill their dreams and how people have to fight strong against the negative societal winds that won't let them come to the light and shine bright.

To come straight with all I have said so far.
Completing this outfit will be a stepping stone for me to start a new life somewhat.
New career really brings a shift in lifestyle. I will have to add this little business to my schedules thinking about customers, sewing, and experiencing what the market feels like and how it treats entrepreneurs especially fashion designers.
Who will be my first clients
And will I be able to deliver to optimum capacity 🤓😂.
All these and many more questions.

Who could believe that I will take the whole of two months to complete just two outfits.
That's the reality.
I had too many road blocks.
It got to a point I had to abandon this pursuit because even the country was against my progress 😃🤓.

I had money in my bank account and was yet unable to spend it seized by some inconsiderate government policy.

In order to continue I had to start buying my own countries fiat just to have some money at hand to spend on the project.
The market was worst on its own.
I made my own budget on what to spend on these outfits,
But ended up spending double the amount because of inflation and expensive fabrics and all.

My family wasn't left out from been one of the challenges I confronted.
A lot happened at home that made me break down in between, I had to take a long break off work to take care of my health and emotional needs.
Thanks to @bimpcy, @jjmusa2004 and a few other hivers whom we got intimate talks and they understood the situation standing by me through the times.

It was not just a needlework challenge but a master of all challenges pregnant with too many hurdles just because I want to venture into something as easy as fashion designing 😃 but I did cross them all. 💃💃💃👒🤗😍

This project was indeed a special kind of sewing for me as it is one that will usher me into the next stage in career maybe that was why it came with a test. 😅😇😀

Am Happy now that it is almost over.
You all have come with me on this journey and am grateful to everyone.
The kind and encouraging words are deeply appreciated.

Am done with sewing and all the other details but in order to add more glamour to the outfit, I decided to make this a luxury outfit. Which means adding a touch of the modern trend in fashion.
Beading and embellishments.
Naturally this is done for bridal wears but we have now adopted it for all kinds of outfit.

The pearls, beads and accessories are expensive and the time to get this done working with needles and thread is long. Its my 5th day today tacking all the beads by hand and hopefully I will have it completed today.

This marks the end of the sewing, awaiting the photoshoot section and brand naming and logo design. 💖💖👯👯👯💃💃💃

And on a final note, I truly wish I can make a pic from the shot of this outfit into an NFT ,something precious with this story line of how much challenge people go though to startup their businesses and brands.
Dedicating it to all who have become successful in their careers regardless of all the hurdles they had to cross.
