Brooke Barry, the fashion designer behind some of Megan Moroney’s most memorable looks, is giving fans a behind-the-scenes peek at her latest creation, a custom outfit that transformed the country star into what she calls a “Rapunzel Barbie doll.”

In a new TikTok video that’s already garnered over 40k views, the talented designer walks viewers through each step in her creative process of making a dreamy lavender mini dress complete with a halter neckline, delicate lace trim, a statement bow at the center, and intricate flower appliqués throughout the corset.

The video starts with the final reveal and the caption, “Here’s how I made this look for Megan Moroney.” From there, Barry takes fans step-by-step through the journey, beginning with her initial sketch. She then moves onto her “favorite part,” building the coreset top. Next up was making the satin purple skirt, which she admitted was a bit difficult to work with do to the fabric’s slippery nature.

Her artistic talent really started to shine in the following slides when she experimented with different applique options until landing on the perfect combination. She later revealed that she decided to make her own appliques because she wasn’t a fan of the other options. Once Barry settled on that, she moved onto adding the metal grommets, which is “always so satisfying,” sewed the waistband onto the skirt and pulling all the elements together for the final design.

The final slides of the post showcase Megan Moroney rocking what Berry deems to be her favorite new design on stage at the Iowa State Fair. Her performance on Saturday, August 9 drew in a crowd of 16,371 people to the Grandstand and marked her second appearance at the state fair.

Recapping the night with photos from the show, many of which found her wearing the stunning purple ensemble, Moroney wrote, ,”THANK YOU IOWA 🥹😍 from the free stage to the grandstand in 2 years … sooooooooo grateful for every single one of y’all 🥺💙💜🫶🏼 i still wake up every day & can’t believe i get to do this thank yall for everything 😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚☁️💭”

Barry is no stranger to dressing the Georgia native as she has designed several other standout outfits for Moroney, including pieces worn during live shows and in the music video for “6 Months Later.” Fans in the comments praised the designer on her craftsmanship, calling her latest custom Megan Moroney dress “SOOOO iconic,” “perfection,” “goals” and more.

In a previous video showing how she made the “Indifferent” singer’s plaid purple look for her “6 Months Later” music video and the single’s cover art, Moroney took to the comment section to join the words of praise. She wrote, “So talented!!! 💜”
