MJ shared a photo of the dress on his Instagram account, and his followers wanted to know where they purchased it from.

MJ explained that the dress was bought online for $50, and the Nazmayde 'had the idea to add flowers at the bottom,' turning the ordinary mini dress into a spectacular evening gown.

The final product took two days to make because the pair underestimated the number of flowers they would need to transform the outfit entirely.

For a final touch, they added 'just a touch of glitter' to the cream dress' cobalt blue print.

The couple looked adorable on Prom Day, and MJ wore a bright blue suit to compliment Nazmayde's outfit. He also shared a series of photos with his followers.

His story soon went viral, and the duo's creative talent featured on Teen Vogue, Yahoo, Daily Mail, and Cosmopolitan. His Instagram post received more than 48,000 likes in less than a month.

'I found it on Fashion Nova for her and she had the idea to add flowers at the bottom. A $50 dress is all, flowers was all it took. We both creative.”
