American actress Blake Lively's dress by Marchesa definitely looks like it was inspired by african print.
The shape of this dress is just so beautiful and feminine. The fitted bodice accentuates her slim waist and the short length shows off her legs perfectly. I love the way the patterns on the dress are artfully arranged in rows. Nice shoes too.
Cute... I love it - where can one get one of those made in naija? Sourcing fabric can be difficult.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of amazing dress makers and designers in Nigeria, and our village marketplaces are treasure troves of authentic traditional african fabrics and accessories.
DeleteWhat I've found most challeging is actually the imagination of clients, who are surprisingly sometimes very risk-averse when it comes to design, so we end up with colourful but uninspired outfits
