Wrap, Drape and Knot

Hello dolls,

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

This post is a revamped version of the "Twist,Drape and Knot" post especially dedicated to people like me who sometimes get clumsy with tying a wrapper or people who would like to explore the comfort of the outfit for other occasions and environments. What I did basically was to replace the wrapper with a wrap skirt which is easier to wear/tie. The skirt is knee length and as a single piece can be combined with other wardrobe staples for different looks.

 
I tried a different styling by pairing my wrap skirt with a lace crop top, crystal white layered necklace, purple patent shoes and a black purse.

My sister who got inspired by the "little white dress" post and wore her wrap skirt over her little black dress for a casual look. You can try yours with a tank top instead.

In another look, she wore a crop jacket over the wrap skirt for the office.

 

I got creative with the blouse too. For one of my clients who wanted something pretty for a day out with her little girls but didn't want to appear too "Mummish"(lol), I mixed the blouse with a plain fabric for the bodice and added a cut out detail on the sleeves instead of the puff sleeves. This piece is very versatile with endless styling possibilities.

...Be fashion wise

Drape, Twist and Knot

Hello lovelies

The fashion world, particularly in Nigeria, recently experienced an invasion of the 'twist and knot wrapper' which I must say is a pretty innovation from the traditional wrapper. However, this trend as with most is already overused. Most ladies at events in recent times have their wrappers in this style.

One way to STILL stand out in this piece is to pair it with a pretty blouse and a statement necklace. Another thing to consider for this twist and knot concept is the fabric; lighter fabrics work better than bulky fabrics. Fabrics like silk, chiffon and stretchy velvets are excellent choices for the wrapper.

 I recently bought some chiffon and silk fabrics and made a couple of blouses and wrappers in what I call 'The Drape, Twist and Knot concept'. For the blouses, I made some in a kimono style with a cowl/drape neck behind and a high neck in front. These can also be worn in the reverse order.

I also made a few blouses off-shoulder with 3/4 elastic band sleeves and cowl/drape neck behind and others had a metallic zipper detail behind.

The necklaces were made by my not-so-little brother, Gbenga 'Artsmith' Dada, you can call him on 07030144953, or follow him on instagram @gbengaartsmith.
