The love and support between siblings can take many forms. Like making them a cup of hot cocoa after a long day at school. Or hiding a plastic spider underneath their covers to distract them from their worries. But some siblings go above and beyond the call of duty.

Meet Maverick Francisco Oyao from the Philippines who designed and created a fabulous winter ball gown for his sister Lu Asey’s prom night. Photos of the beautiful dress are now going viral online.

When you’re done with this post, check out Bored Panda’s article about a high school student from the Philippines, Ciara Gan, who painted her very own prom dress that took a month to design and make.

Mave from Zamboanga City undertook the fashion design project when he learned that his sister wanted to attend her school’s Junior and Senior prom in February. However, ball gowns are incredibly expensive and their family couldn’t afford to rent a dress.

So Mave took it upon himself to make her happy, literally crafting the gown design with his bare hands. He even painted part of the dress to create a unique and stylish piece of clothing! The prom happened on Valentine’s Day, so the dress design was a perfect example of brotherly love for the occasion.

The brother even joked that he’d avoid getting married just so he could support his sister in the future. Mave drew inspiration from ball dresses and other clothes designs, “especially Michael Cinco’s spring and summer collection.” According to the brother, some people helped him out financially so he could buy the materials needed to finish the dress.

Funnily enough, Mave isn’t a fashion designer by trade. He told curious internet users that he was studying culture and arts education at university. He also revealed that it took him around a week and a half to finish the dress.

Unfortunately, Mave’s sister didn’t win the Best Dress award at the school prom. But they were both happy with the end result. Even though some internet users commenting on the dress suggested that it would have looked better with a few minor changes.

As photos of the dress went viral, some people couldn’t help but compliment Mave’s handiwork
