IMABYCASSIE: A DESIGN ARCHIVE

The Shape
of Becoming.

A diary in clothes.
A record of what we make,
and what we are still becoming.

FORM / MEMORY / THE MAKING01

01 / A LETTER FROM CASSIE

There is a story
in the clothes.

Cassie, founder of ImabyCassie, wearing a cream dress with black trim
Cassie, founder of ImabyCassie.

My relationship with clothes began long before ImabyCassie. My mother was a fabric wholesaler, and because finding clothes for my proportions was difficult, she made mine, with me helping along the way. Feminine shirts, pencil skirts, flowing dresses drawn in at the waist. I loved being covered and still having my shape understood.

When I began ImabyCassie at home in April 2022, I brought that understanding with me. There were clothes for celebrations, for work, for someone who wanted something made around them. Then the pieces I made for my own everyday life began to find their way into other people’s wardrobes.

Through all of this, I have been discovering, adjusting, enjoying the process and dealing with the stress. Trying to make beautiful clothes while making a brand make sense in an unstable Nigerian economy. There have been pauses, other creative interests, and a return to making to order.

I wanted this archive to hold every design we have photographed, including the personal pieces and the commissions. To let you see the growth, rather than only where we have arrived.

I think about clothes you cherish enough to keep, and eventually pass to somebody else. That is what I want to keep working towards.

Thank you for following the process.
Cassie

02 / A POINT OF VIEW

A waist. A line.
A way of seeing.

Long before the brand, there were fitted shirts, pencil skirts and flowing dresses drawn in at the waist. Here, a selection of photographed work holds the conversation between form and detail.

03 / RETURNING TO THE MEASURE

The design is ours.
The measurements are yours.

A size label could not tell the whole story. Asking clients for their individual measurements became a natural part of the process, and helped shape a clearer direction for made-to-order.

One look, seen slowly.
The whole silhouette.
Then the detail.

THE EVERYDAY, CONSIDERED

Room for
a different rhythm.

Shirts, contrasting lines and a change in proportion. The made-to-order records keep each look and its available views together.

Archive previews only. Made-to-order is not yet open for online orders. Styled looks do not indicate sale bundles.

04 / BESPOKE

Another beginning.
Another possibility.

Bespoke begins with a separate conversation about a new design idea. This chapter brings together selected custom work, without assuming that each photograph tells the same story.

05 / COUTURE, IN THREE COLOURS

One design.
Three expressions.

01 / FUCHSIA
02 / WHITE
03 / RED

Landscape closer trio of red/black, white/black and fuchsia/black versions, showing each bodice, dark waist motif, black rosette neckline/hem and dangling drops. Lower legs outside original frame.

A NOTE FROM CASSIE

“This is one of my favourite couture designs. We made it in three colours, and it was our bestseller from October 2024 through June 2025. The photographs from these shoots are so stunning.”Cassie

Black rosettes frame the neckline and hem. A diamond-shaped embellished motif draws the eye to the waist. Across fuchsia, white and red, those details hold the three versions together.

SEEN MORE CLOSELY

Rosettes, colour
and detail.

A closer view of each version keeps the surface decoration, waist motif and neckline in focus. The white version can now be seen on its own, as well as in the paired photographs.

06 / IN THE MAKING

From the fitting
to the finished look.

The archive has room for the process, too. The earlier fitting photograph of this lilac floral gown sits beside its finished look: two moments in the making of the same piece.

A fitting photograph is part of the journey, not a promise about a finished garment or a production timeline.
