Iro and Buba cord lace styles and colors
Cord lace Iro and Buba designs are so inviting and elegant that you are always tempted to run your hands over the unique patterns. This is a fairly specific kind of fabric, so to make the right choice, you need to follow a few simple rules. So how do you wear these lace attires? Read on to find out.
Iro and Buba made of lace should have a simple cut because lace is the main decoration in your image.
Lace visually increases the proportions of the body, so curvy women should choose their Iro and Buba style very carefully. Avoid going with attires with very big patterns. Choose smaller patterns so you will not visually add a few extra kilos.
The traditional colors for lace Iro and Buba are white and different pastel tones. The combination of white lace and a darker fabric as a base can be very exquisite. For those who associate white lacy Iro and Buba with a bride's attire, cream or pastel colors will be good options.
Red lace is very bright and can become an ideal option for creating a noticeable, passionate look. If you want to wear a black lace attire, you should take a closer look at its texture.
Recently, vivid lace that comes in blue, yellow, green colours have become fashionable. This will be an interesting option for a Nigerian party. For Nigerian fashionistas, blue and yellow colours are pretty popular this season.
Speaking about lace in general, designers traditionally go for black, white, and red colours. These are the basic options. But other colours gradually gaining popularity are beige and pink. They can become an excellent alternative to mourning black, impractical white, and aggressive red. They both can give you a very refreshing look.
With a combination of different textures, you can get a very stylish look. For example, a lace Iro and Buba with inserts from another fabric (the best combination can be a cord lace with chiffon and silk), or a lacy fabric with a lining of contrasting color.
You should remember that lace attire are not cheap, especially if they are authentic. Do not skimp on buying Iro and Buba. Cheap lace of low quality will quickly lose shape and its bright appearance.
There is one more important feature of lace - tailoring. If your lace fabric has many small elements, some parts cut into the seams and look bad.
From the above, it certainly becomes clear that lace itself is self-sufficient. However, it is also important to think through all the details: quality, shade, cut, design.
