Lace VS Ankara

Did I ever mention that lace fabrics don't look nice when you sew english styles out of them?

I have a collection of pictures of owambe dress codes, english styles in lace and ankara fabrics. I got the pictures from the kind of magazine that you may take to your tailor to get the owambe reigning styles.

Take a look at these pictures and judge if I need to swallow my opinion about lace fabrics and diverse styles. Pictures loading check next post.

OLEKU Is Back!

I may be coming really late on this one, but it's better late than never. This must not go unmentioned. Fashion in the Owambe segment has returned to the 'good old days'. It is the OLEKU style in vogue now and not just in our parents' pictures anymore.

This time aso oke is not used for the 'iro' (wrapper) like we saw in those Polaroid and black & white pictures, but it's been sighted mainly in Ankara and Lace fabrics especially organza lace. The arm length is still three quarter, make sure your fashion designer doesn't forget that detail. The young ladies have been rocking this style which has started appearing again about a year ago, putting their 'iro' higher than their knees to their discretion. While the older and family women have stopped theirs right on the knee, or a little below but far from the ankle.

Whatever your length, whatever your fabric, the OLEKU style is still hip and has made appearing  in Iro 'n' Buba fad and fun. And everyone now has a chance to reminisce this legendary 'owambe' fashion statement.
