Mara May explains that - In “Side by Side,” I explore the profound strength found in unity and resilience. The vibrant colors and intertwining patterns symbolize the deep connection between individuals who stand together, no matter the challenges life may present. This piece reflects the spirit of my people, who have endured trials and tribulations throughout history. Each brushstroke embodies the stories of love, support, and perseverance, illustrating how, side by side through it all, we can weather any storm. The figures depicted are not just individuals; they represent the collective strength of our communities, embodying the belief that together, we rise, heal, and thrive.

This is such a beautiful piece. Fits to size, a gorgeous cut and the colours POP. I have to say it's even prettier IRL than on the screen.
Thank you for sharing the LPD love hun 💕
Such a fun little dress.
Love the navy background and then the Christmas print is lovely.
Thanks for the amazing feedback lovely! 💕
Lovely and lightweight, perfect for a summer holiday. Though runs pretty big for LPD. I'm a consistent 22 in LPD sizing, but could have sized down in this!
The color is beautiful and the fabric is soft and breathable. It's super comfortable and flattering, but the shoulders were too wide for me and kept falling off. I was going to order the next size smaller, but they were sold out. 😥 Would totally buy again (in a smaller size).
Thanks so much for your feedback hun! We're super grateful to hear your thoughts 💕
The print & colours of this dress are just gorgeous. The Merida style with the shirred bodice is super comfy & will be great for hot summer days. It’s a very pretty dress.
Thank you for sharing the LPD love, we're so thrilled to hear you're loving your dress 💕
