Wedding Glam #28: Agbada

We are already familiar with he-inspired English wears, who knew that the tradition fashion scene was going to imitate some styles from the men too. Our kamdolls are rocking the agbada and they are doing an awesome job too.
Agbada is the Yoruba name for a type of flowing wide sleeved robe, usually decorated with embroidery, which is worn throughout much of Nigeria by important men, such as kings and chiefs, and on ceremonial occasions like weddings and funerals.
Unlike the regular long sleeve agabada’s, ladies added some flare to theirs by altering the sleeves and the general length and design. 
These he-inspired traditional outfits graced the runways during the 2014 Lagos Fashion Week thanks to creative designer; Mai Atafo and it was a lovely style to embrace.
This is an outfit that is hard to rock because it has not been fully accepted but nevertheless some brave ladies have adopted it. Kamdolls, would you rock these traditional attires?
Have a look at some of the styles that ladies have tried out 

Ankara LookBook #34: Dashiki

Dashiki is of Yoruba origin. It is  derived from“danshiki” which translates into the word shirt. A dashiki is a loose-fitting colourful shirt that was originally designed for guys. They usually have an ornate V-shaped collar and made generally from light fabrics.
The distinguishing factor is the pattern of these fabrics; they range from plain to more complex and colourful designs.
Recently, Nigerians especially the ladies have embraced the dashiki and are rocking it beautifully. The versatility of the dashiki cannot be contained. Various styles both (formal and informal) can be sewn with this fabric but the most common form is the loose fitting pullover piece. 
To make your desired style more elegant, opt for tailored and embroidered necklines and sleeves. See how these Kamdolls rocked their fabrics;
