“The main reason why I created these garments are just to celebrate the moments in this election. It is not an annual occasion and I decided to make it for my followers and spice up the atmosphere.”, says Wafi.
“I’m not doing this for any politicking purpose. I hope no one takes this seriously as I did nothing except for making these gowns and sharing the video on social media.”, adds Wafi.
Wafi also stated that he wished for voters to make the best choice for whom they select to lead our nation and bring a stable economy as well as no negative issues such as corruption.
According to Wafi, he didn’t take a long time to make the dresses as he didn’t emphasize the details and just made them for his media social content.
“I just made the dress for my own usage, so the stitching is not 100% neat as I’m focusing on the shape and silhouette of the dress.”, says Wafi.
Wafi also stated that the dresses endear to the netizen due to their interest in glamorous outfits with movements as the wow factor despite preferring minimalist style.
“They want to see the outfit movements, but I also make it interesting by adding appropriate songs for the video.”, says Wafi.
Wafi also created a Disney-inspired dress using Pakatan Harapan (PH) flag, inspired by the character Cruella as shown in his TikTok account.
