A CRAFTY fashionista made her sister a GREEN wedding dress with special messages hidden inside – and people have hailed it "incredible".
Imogen Evans launched her own clothing label at the end of 2020 after leaving her job as a live-in nanny.
Her sustainable brand Imi Studios has a following of more than 75,000 people on TikTok and various big-name celebrities have worn her pieces – including Tallia Storm, Love Island's Mal Nicol and musician Anderson .Paak.
But perhaps her most important client has been her very own sister.
Imogen told how she was "nervous" after being asked to make a wedding dress for her sibling's big day.
Using £80 worth of material, the fashion fanatic got to work sewing the frock – and she decided to give it an unusual twist.
Not only is the dress inspired by her sister's old "neon green" hair, but there are also sweet messages hidden beneath the fabric.
Imogen told her followers: "When we went fabric shopping we found olive green material which we thought would look cute with chiffon over the top.
"I got my sister's fiancé to write loads of memories and private jokes to go in the lining.
"It's a green dress with touches of pink detail, her shoes are pink and I've made her a pink bag with the same fabric.

"My sister used to have this amazing neon green hair and she was considering dying it back but decided it was too much effort."
Imogen says the reaction to her sister's dress was very positive as it matched her quirky style.

"She looked unreal and the dress was super easy to dance in."
The fashion designer's followers flocked to the comments to gush over the unique wedding dress.
