Tell stylish Nigerian ladies that the streets are dirty and
they tell you it’s a matter of putting on a sweeping
gown to keep it clean. Yes, nothing, it appears, can stand
between fashion duds and long flowing gowns this season. It
is the rave of the moment and the toast of every discerning
woman.
For today’s women, long gowns are the bomb. They come
in different styles, although the most popular are those that
get to the floor. Little wonder it is also referred to as
‘AC, Keep Lagos Clean’. If you do not intend to
sweep the floor, you lift the gown stylishly.
Nigerian tailors have taken up the challenge to sew every
stitch with precision and perfection. These designers transform
your fabrics into extraordinary outfits that stand you out
in the crowd.
Nigeria prints, like Ankara and Akwete provide eye-popping
designs to catch your fancy. Wooden, Kente and Akosombo from
Ghana leaves you with breath-taking designs and patterns to
choose from.
If, however, you choose to opt for conventional fabrics, it
will, in no way, be a bad idea.
It does not matter if it is tailored or ready made. A well-made
sweeping gown is sure to give you that glorious poise any
day. And when combined with the right matching colours of
fashion accessories and choice jewelries, you leave no one
in doubt about your class and sense of style. |
