American figure skater Karen Chen is showing off all the details of her butterfly dress for this year’s Winter Olympics. The best part about her costume? It was made by her mom.

On Monday, Team USA shared a video of the Olympian on Instagram, where she provided all the details on her handmade dress crafted by her mom, Hsiu-Hui Tseng. The lavender dress is embellished with rhinestones along the front of the dress, with bell sleeves and an illusion neckline. “She probably does 90 per cent of the work and I do ten percent, and by ten percent I just tell her, ‘Oh that looks good’ or ‘That doesn’t look good,’” Chen said in the video.
