THE DOUBLE WRAPPER AND BLOUSE - NIGERIAN STYLE (IBO CULTURE)
Added 2024-01-06 14:00:05 +0000 UTCHey My Darlings - so this is the way women from the Eastern part of Nigeria dress.
My mothers culture - THE IBOS
My outfit is a modern twist to it.
A fitted off - shoulder blouse - I made mine a corset stoned blouse
Two Wrappers tied one over the other - I made mine a skirt that looks like two fabrics tied over.
Traditional Igbo (female) attire & accessories. consists of George (Imported), Akwette (Hand woven in Igboland) or Hollandis (Imported) Ogodo (wrapper) 2. pieces if Married, 1 piece if unmarried.
The Coral beads I had were sooo heavy , my neck couldn't take it. So I wore a necklace instead.
My husband had one on - I was supposed to have three on my neck - so you can only imagine the weight of it. My sons had a smaller version on.

Honest Question. Have you consider modeling as a side job?
