Bridesmaids Edition: Peach and Mint

Hello dears,

Today's post is a follow up on bridesmaids dresses. I have previously posted on this particular wedding although the dress featured was the bride's Registry dress (see earlier post 'My Sunday Look - The Bodycon'). For the bridesmaids dresses I was initially skeptical about mixing two pastel colours; peach and mint but it turned out beautifully in the end. I made the dresses in a similar style to the bride's; lace-up bustier dresses with a sash at the waist that's tied into a bow. The sash and lace up details are in contrasting colours. A bit of sparkle is added to the dress by the silver brooch on the sash. Much of the dress' details are in the back and are shown off by the updo hairstyles worn by the bridesmaids.  

The earrings worn also compliment the dress. This dress is styled rather simply for this wedding but the boob-tube bodice provides the opportunity to wear a bold neck piece similar to the bride's. All in all, here's another happy and satisfied bride as well as bridesmaids.

Bridesmaids Edition: Coral and Gold

Hello dolls,

I hope you are all having an amazing week! I have been involved in quite a number of wedding projects and have decided to post on a couple of them and on subsequent ones. This post features a coral and gold dress made for the bridesmaids. The official wedding colours were burnt orange and champagne; we selected colours in the same family but with different hues for the bridal train.

I made a boob tube floor length dress from a stretchy silk-satin. The stretchy fabric is form fitting and clings like a second skin. It's bodice is covered with guipure lace, has a high neck in front and a cut out behind. The rest of the dress flows mermaid style with one piece in front and three pieces at the back giving it a slight tail at the hem. There's a tie-sash at the waist that provides extra detail to the style. The dress is accessorized with a gold brooch on the sash to provide that little bit of bling.

The bride and bridesmaids loved the dress. Happy clients make for a happy designer *:)

The Buba Dress

Hello darlings

Hope the week has started out great for you all. I'm posting today about an outfit I conceptualised to remake from a classic style; 'the Oleku'. I decided to make the style into a dress as opposed to the regular 'iro' and 'buba'. I made the dress as a single colour block of baby pink using drylace. It maintains same upper bodice shape as can be seen from the sleeves and the neckline while the lower bodice is sewn into a fiitted form.

The dress is styled here for either a wedding or a church event. I tied a fucshia pink and teal blue gele to maintain the traditional look. My neck is accessorised with a darker neckpiece from my brother Gbenga, also known as 'Artsmith'. The outfit can be styled in different ways and can even be worn as a casual Friday attire depending on your company's dress code.

Orange Crush

Hello dearies

My apologies for the long hiatus but I'm back and ready with new content that is guaranteed to inspire you. 

Today's outfit is a mixture of textures and colours that I wouldn't have thought to combine ordinarily. I made this oufit from peach guipure lace and orange tribal print ankara. The skirt is a combination of two styles in vogue; the dip hem and the full flares. It also has a tie-bow behind. Full, voluminous skirts are flattering to most silhouettes and can be dressed up or down.

The top has been tucked in to show off the details of the skirt. It balances out the volume of the skirt and adds a touch of feminism. The v-neck on the top allows for accessorizing with chunky neck pieces. In this case, I have gone for a red beaded necklace which balances the entire look, but provides a bit of contrast when combined with the royal blue shoes.

This looks works for a number of occasions and each piece can be mixed with other pieces to suit whatever occasion.
