ooooh I get it. I don't think any tailor fit do am for you abroad oh... in naija all u have to say is three words and they know the style. they measure you and u come back two hours later. over here they will want a pattern and ( if na chinese ) it will probably not come out right anyway so you can forget the tradidional styles. One thing you can try that is kicking in naija right now is to sew the latest fashion ( like one sleeve ) with the traditional lace and net. some are lined some aren't lined.. and people use aso oke for the entire outfit depending on what you feel compfortable in. I'll try and see if I find pics.. but I hope u understand wetin I dey yarn

Naijacandy......
thanx for the advice...actually there is a jamaican woman who sews some of my contemporary naija wear...as for traditional wears we get plenti naija seamstresses out here...... BlakByuty..... good looking out with the pictures...they are very nice...i sewed something similar to the 2nd and 3rd pic....i'm funny in a way that if i sew a particular style- i don't sew it agian even if its a different material...what do you think about that...should i sew again the open sleeves with lace material??.... |

Thanx..girl... it's actually a soft lace- its called cotton lace-its the type my mom used to wear in the late 70s/early 80s...not the shiny shiny stuff that is in vogue now....... as to the last picture, i think that would make me look toooo old!!!! but thanx anywayzzeeee. |
