Aso Ebi Styles
For those who aren’t exactly sure, the Aso Ebi is an attire exclusive to the Nigerian culture. It usually adds excitement when worn to weddings by a group of females of the same family, friends or well-wishers. This style is not just limited to weddings though, it can also be worn to funerals and other ceremonies or gatherings like birthdays, naming ceremony and so on.
Since the year began, lace and velvet have been trending worldwide in the fashion industry. It wasn’t long after that it captured the eyes and won the hearts of our women. Now it is a closet essential.
To some, these two pieces of fabric may sound unusual for the Aso Ebi styles, but when properly designed and sewn together, individually or combined (take a look at the photo above), the end product is outstanding. These two pieces, in particular, create a character, add class and luxury. Any woman who wears this can be mistaken for Nigeria’s Queen and will be the talk of the town.
Velvet and lace styles
Lace is one of the longest running pieces of fabric, coherent with modesty and a classy feminine touch. This was once usually worn by royalty, most famous celebrities, and ladies at the top society. Among the family of lace, the "corded lace" is the most popular for our garment.
Velvet is a smooth piece of fabric that has always managed to find its way back onto the fashion scene after disappearing for some time. When worn, it screams the words fierce and powerful, though sometimes it gives a sense of mystery. At the end of the day, it all depends on how it is designed and worn, this kind of fabric can even whisper elegance.
Sewing these kinds of fabrics is quite tricky and if you aren’t careful they can be an easy miss instead of a hit. However, the result is worth the efforts.
