How Much Of Modern Owambe Attires Do You know?

Hi, this post aims at finding out  how well you can spot and know modern owambe attires by name. Below are questions about them. Or maybe you don't know about these attires and you are interested in finding out, you could ask questions but not the ones I've asked.

Q1. What's the name of the type of attire (The blouse) the bride is wearing in the first picture?
Q2. What type of the lace is the mother of the bride wearing?
Q3. What other kinds of attires can you identify in these pictures?

There might be a goody bag somewhere, so you might be doing the right thing by answering ;)

Weekend Video: BEST OF NIGERIAN FASHION "natives"

I'm down with anything promoting the fashion in the 'Owambe Party Scene'. Below is a video of a collection of photos (from party sights) themed around Wedding ceremonies, it portrays rich Nigerian culture, so if you are Nigerian you had better be proud.



That reminds me, today being Saturday is an official 'owambe' day, show off your style at that 'owambe' you attended previously or the one you'd be attending today. Send your pictures to owambedresscode@gmail.com. Even if it means you'd be taking those pictures all because I asked, take bribe *kiss kiss*. Thanks in advance for sending the pictures. Cash ya lerra! ;-)

New: Bags! Bags!! Bags!!! In Aso Oke

Trendy handbags made with Aso Oke. What do you think?

Apologies!

I'm so sorry I was not able to post the pictures of Lace outfits versus Ankara Outfits. Wish it wasn't but it was due to technical issues. Don't be discouraged things would get better. Keep watching this space. Mwah!

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.

Double organza

One of the fabrics that have been trending lately on the Nigerian party fashion scene is the 'Double Organza Lace'.

With double organza lace I've noticed that colours do come out really beautiful, they are of light weight for laces, they don't droop on your frame and blend pretty well with head gears of any kind whether paper gele, syn-gele, aso oke of any kind.


You should try them out for that next 'owambe'  and even suggest them for aso ebi if you have an event coming up soon, they do a great job enhancing collectiveness.


Sorry! I don't have the pictures to show how they turn out. Working on it, please bear with me.
