Willow’s Dress

In 2025, while studying A Levels, Ben Stosic sketched a dress that caught the eye of his close friend Willow Osborn, who soon asked him to bring the design to life as her prom dress. Over the following months, Ben undertook the tailoring and construction of the garment, working through numerous fittings and hand-sewing thousands of beads into the final design. The intensive process marked the beginning of Ben’s enduring distaste for beading, with stray beads from the project still occasionally appearing around his bedroom.
