# Own Wedding Dress # Perfect
I think I should say that, for me it is before and after WIFD. Earlier, I missed completeness and perfections in my works which was later cleared by well experienced teachers at WIFD. The friendly atmosphere helped me to know the world of designing and cleared all my doubts in that. WIFD made my works, look complete and perfect. The greatest achievement was that, I made my own Wedding Dress, which everyone admired...
