Steem Women Club Contest //Local Dress Promotion // show Colors//my four different local dresses as worn by the african women written by @dlioness

Hello beautiful women of this great community @steemwomensclub,hope we all are having a good time wherever we are,



I'm so excited participating in the on going contest organised by these amazing community,the contest has actually given me reasons to look into some of the dresses I wear on daily basis or to some occasions because most times I decides to put on a cloth without knowing the material it's been made of , thank you to @svm038 and @SteemWomen Club for the idea ;



In this contest, I'll be displaying or showing us four different dresses sown or made  with different materials,which all can be worn by any average woman for any occasion ,from the pictures I'll be telling us about the dresses and the styles used on them,as we all know that some clothes are for certain occasions just like here in Nigeria there are many styles of cloth one can make and each style comes with a unique look depending on the kind of material used for it whether cotton, lace,Jean material, polyester, ankara etc;read on.....

my straight cut gown made with jean material with chiffon material as colorful design in our church compound

The above picture is a simple  straight cut gown as some stylists or African fashion designers call it,made with Jean material with some touch of chiffon material as the design on the hand and front view with shiny stones on it for more beautification,the hand is given a flay style depending on the customers choice of style,the gown is mostly worn by the Africans especially the ibo tribe and can  be worn for any occasion like marriage ceremony, church service, party etc, the cost of it against steem is 20steems when 1steem is 250naira in nigerian currency

wearing my ghanaian dress to a programme

This particular attire above is mostly known to be worn by the Ghanaians,it is made with partially an Ankara material ,the upper one is sown or made like buba  kind of style where the hand is like fish fin without a Definite shape or style  and the trouser is made to give a nice and tight  fitting like leggins kind of trouser , this is because the tight fitted trouser helps bring out the beauty or nice fittings of the upper wear, the cloth can be worn by any woman be it pregnant or  not and it can be worn for any occasion too,but not for all churches as some churches tends to prohibit it because of the trouser, the cost of it against steem is 25steem when 1steem is 250naira in nigerian currency

wearing my ankara made gown to church

This is another kind of straight cut gown made with pure Ankara material with a balloon hand as style and deep opening at the back as choosen by the stylist mostly worn by our Nigerian women ,the cloth was made by a friend of mine who owes a fashion designing shop ,the cloth can be worn for any occasion too as the case may be except to school for those who wear uniform to school ...smiles........,
the cost of it against steem is 17steem when 1steem is 250naira in nigerian currency

my friend on her traditional marriage wear

These last one is one of  our traditional attire worn by a new bride on her traditional  marriage day,that's my friend and her husband on their traditional marriage day,it's  a blouse and a long  wrapper on the waist with a head tie wrapped neatly like a cap with some shiny stones as design ,this attire can mostly be worn by our African married women on or after their marriage ceremony,the cost of it against steem is 45steem when 1steem is 250naira in nigerian currency

Our local dresses has a way of defining us,just like in our tribe ,we easily recognizes a woman's root or tribe from its attire, though some tends to wear anything they want but in most places where culture is also practised on attire it gives a foreigner an easy definition of who the people are and the beauty attatched to most dresses are superb and gives the women wearing it a gorgeous look,i will advice we all keep promoting our dresses as it defines our root and makes us look beautiful
