Student Ciara Gan from the Philippines is being likened to a "Disney princess" after photos of her hand-made graduation dress went viral on Twitter.


The dress, which took about a month to design and make, was hand-painted with flowers and sewn with the help of her mother.
Posting photos of the dress to Twitter, Ciara said:

I made and painted my own gown for my graduation ball! I painted over 80 flowers, sewed and stoned my dress with my mama and designed the whole thing myself!

The gown was made to celebrate graduating from high school and going to university, where Ciara will be studying computer sciences.

Ciara said: "I decided to design my own dress because my mom suggested it in the first place. Since it was my last high school event, I wanted to make something special that really reflected who I was – a creator.

"That's why I decided to make something that I've never made before!

"My mom played a huge role in making this all possible!"

The photos of the dress reached more than 80,000 retweets on the website, and Twitter users piled on praise for the design.

Ciara said: "Seeing as I had so much fun making my dress for our ball, I think I would (make a dress again).

"I think every artist sees the flaws in their works but all in all I am happy with what I've made."

"I have ideas already in mind that I want to try out."

Twitter stanned hard for her beautiful creation.




















Now, everyone's dying for a Ciara Gan creation of their own.










We're sure her work will be on runways in no time.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
