The high school senior said she tried on lots of dresses in stores but couldn’t find one that she felt really fit her personality. "I’m a very creative person. I love making things, building things. Anything that I can get my hands on I really enjoy doing," she said. "After a while, I figured why not just make my own dress. I mean, I have a sewing machine. I can buy the cloth. So I just went ahead and tried it out."
Obinabo admitted turning her idea for the perfect dress into a reality took much longer than she expected.Snake interrupts happy hour on Greenville Avenue "You can see the beading on the front. It took hours," she said. "I’m really glad my sister helped me out a lot with it. Whenever I was not working on it and I had stuff to do she was immediately ready to go help me glue gem after gem after gem. It took hours.""My friends and I do this Destination Imagination group so a lot of times we do costumes for that that I helped sew. I’ve made a few of my Halloween costumes in the past," she said.
