Hey lovelies, hope you all had a great weekend. Today's dress was designed for Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi, she wore it to a traditional wedding a few months ago. The sketch below was sent to her for approval after which the dress was made. It is a floor length, sleeveless gown made from raw silk and lace. The details on the neck, lower bodice and back were achieved through the patterns on the edges of the lace. The silk and lace are gold in colour because that was one of the wedding colours.
Funlola wore the dress as a traditional outfit, paired with a fuchsia 'gele' and gold accessories. It could also be worn as a formal dress to either a white wedding or some other formal event like I did when I made a replica for myself.
Your choice of fabrics is absolutely AMAZING!!!
