MixedPrint


I love mixing prints, and have loved it for some time now. Mixing Adire with Ankara is my template for many clutches I've designed. I thought while in Nigeria last summer, why not try making an Adire low back dress and see how it comes out. The material is a bit stiffer than normal, thus a bit of room to wiggle around in was needed and the construction around the edges wasn't perfect (I blame the tailor) but all in all I liked the outcome. I am also a fan of low scoop back pieces, thus this dress is dear to my heart.
