Mustard Yellow Beaded Strap Peplum Maxi Dress, Made to Measure

Mustard yellow maxi dress with beaded shoulder straps and a gathered peplum waist, cut in 100% cotton so it holds its structure through a long day. The fitted bodice and defined high waist create a clean hourglass line, while the floor length skirt falls with weight and movement. The beaded straps and dramatic peplum carry the detail, so the dress reads as a finished look without extra styling. Made for occasion wear: wedding guest outfits, engagement parties, owambe and aso ebi events, birthday dinners, church anniversaries and evening receptions. The solid mustard tone photographs cleanly in both daylight and indoor lighting. Available made to measure. Instead of a standard size chart, the dress is cut to your own bust, waist, hip and length measurements, which you provide at checkout. Made to order by an independent designer on Sokofa and shipped worldwide with DHL tracking.

Handwoven Akwete Two Piece Set - Nigerian Top and Maxi Skirt

A two piece set cut from handwoven Akwete cloth: a short sleeve top with a full length maxi skirt, in bands of orange, purple, cream, green and black. Akwete is not a print. It is woven by hand by Igbo women in Akwete, a town in Abia State in south east Nigeria, on an upright wall loom that is the widest in Nigeria at roughly 100 to 127cm across. Most West African handweaving comes off a narrow strip loom and has to be stitched together in bands. Akwete does not, so the pattern runs unbroken across the cloth. The motifs are floated into the weave thread by thread as the fabric grows, which means the design is part of the structure of the cloth rather than a layer printed on the surface. The top is cut close through the body with a short sleeve. The skirt falls full to the ankle, so it moves when you walk and holds its shape when you stand. Together they read as one deliberate outfit rather than separates that happen to match. Available in UK 8 to 16. Wear the set together for weddings, owambe, introductions, church and traditional ceremonies, or split it: the skirt carries a plain white shirt or a black top on its own. Because every length of cloth is woven by hand, the placement and alignment of the bands vary from set to set. No two are cut from an identical stretch of fabric. Care: hand wash cold or dry clean. Do not bleach and do not soak. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight and press on a medium heat on the reverse.

Ankara Ruffle Ball Gown - African Print Mother and Daughter Dress

A multicoloured Ankara ball gown with a yellow organza ruffle neckline and a full skirt built layer on layer, each tier cut from a different African wax print so no two rows repeat. The bodice is fitted and structured, the ruffle sits off the shoulder, and the skirt carries its own volume without a hoop underneath. It is made to measure, which is why it works for a daughter and for a mother. Order it as a girls' ball gown for a birthday, a naming ceremony, a school ball or a flower girl role, or in an adult size for owambe, aso ebi or a wedding guest look. Order both and you get a matching mommy and me set cut to fit each of you properly, rather than one design scaled down. Hand sewn in Nigeria in Ankara cotton wax print, with an organza ruffle and full lining. Send your measurements at checkout, allow 2 to 4 weeks before dispatch, returns within 30 days. This is occasion wear, so treat it that way. Spot clean or dry clean only, and store it hanging so the tiers keep their shape.

Black 3D Rose Mermaid Evening Dress

Strapless black crepe mermaid gown with oversized white 3D rose appliques, handmade to your exact measurements. This floor length black evening dress is cut close through the bust, waist and hip, then flares into a dramatic mermaid train that sweeps behind you as you walk. The structured straight neckline holds its shape without straps, and the sculptural white fabric roses run from the hip down one side of the skirt, giving the silhouette its signature contrast. It is made in a mid weight crepe that drapes cleanly, resists creasing and photographs well under flash and studio lighting. A natural pick for prom night, a birthday photoshoot, a wedding reception or second dress, an engagement shoot, a gala or an awards dinner. Every piece is cut and sewn to order. Choose custom tailoring at checkout and send your bust, waist, hip, shoulder and length measurements so the fit is yours alone.

Black Fringe Racer Neck Maxi Dress

Fitted black maxi dress with a high racer neck and a cascading white fringe skirt, made to your measurements. The bodice is cut close and sleeveless, with a high racer neckline that keeps the shoulders and arms clean and draws the eye up. From mid thigh the silhouette breaks into a full curtain of white fringe that moves as you walk, which is what gives a plain black column its whole personality. It is made in a structured crepe that holds a body skimming shape without clinging, in a two tone black and white palette that takes almost any accessory. Wear it to brunch, a gallery opening, a birthday dinner, a wedding guest slot, or to the office with a blazer over the top. Every piece is cut and sewn to order in your own measurements, so the bodice sits where it should and the fringe finishes at the right length for your height.
