Fashion tips from an expert

Jessica-Ann Shepherd, a graphic and fashion designer and owner of Oddity, shared with Briefly News that the girl's shoes could be why she struggled to walk.

If it were the garment, the award-winning designer suggested a slit or vent in the dress, which the girl has in front. She further explained:

"Cutting the dress's fabric on the bias (diagonal to the grain) gives the fabric stretch, even if it's not stretchy. It allows the dress to have movement when walking."
