We had our End-of-The-Year Thanksgiving Service in my church yesterday and we were required to wear traditional attires.
I was gifted this gorgeous Adire fabric by my former senior colleague at the office months ago.
I had the fabric cut up to be sewn with the help of my sewing tutor almost immediately I got it but never got around to sewing it until last week.
I made a strapless top and a mermaid style skirt and added tiny straps at the last minute for a lil cold shoulder effect. Y'all know mermaid style pieces are my fav!
Adire is an African fabric made by the Yorubas in Nigeria using Tie-Dye technique.Twas originally made in indigo colors but have been diversified into various beautiful colors. I think candle wax was also used in designing my fabric.
I'm into African Prints now and can't wait to try out different styles.
Check out my previous styles Ankara with Teal Skirt , Cold Shoulder Top , Ankara Flared Pants and Ankara Mermaid style Dress.
