MIXED KITENGE DRESS

The sky is blue,the ocean is blue so is my dress

TODAY I AM WEARING ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRENDS IN AFRICAN FASHION...THE PRINTS MIXING TREND,IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS BLOG I GUESS YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED HOW MUCH I ALWAYS SAY I LOVE AND WANT A MIXED PRINTS AND PATCHWORK AFRICAN PRINT DRESS OR SOMETHING,I HAVE ALSO BEEN SHARING SOME INSPIRATIONAL PICTURES OF FASHIONISTAS IN THIS TREND,I DECIDED TO GO WITH A PENCIL SILHOUETTE DRESS FOR START SINCE IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE AND A BIT SIMPLE TO MAKE BECAUSE I AM STILL LEARNING ON HOW TO MAKE THIS STYLE OF DRESS.

THE BACK IS MADE BY ONE TYPE OF KITENGE (ANKARA PRINTS)

BECAUSE I AM STILL LEARNING ON THIS MIXING AFRICAN PRINTS STYLE I DID NOT WANT TO GO OVER THE TOP WITH IT...AFRAID OF RUINING THE WHOLE THING 

THE FRONT OF THE DRESS IS MADE OF FIVE DIFFERENT KITENGE PRINTS,ALL IN THE SHADE OF BLUE...MOST ARE THE REMAINING PIECES FROM MY MAMA'S KITCHEN PARTY SARE REMAINING PIECES...

I ARRANGED THE DIFFERENT KITENGE PIECES HORIZONTALLY CREATING AN ILLUSION OF THE HORIZONTAL STRIPES TREND...

THE SLEEVES ARE OF THE DIFFERENT KITENGE PRINTS,I LOVE THE LENGTH AND THE VOLUME ON THE SHOULDERS

THERE WE HAVE IT,THE MIXED PRINTS TRENDS IN AFRICAN PRINTS I HAVE HAD AN OBSESSION OVER IT FOR A WHILE AND NOW I HAVE STARTED TO PUT IT IN LIFE...

THE MAASAI BEADED NECKLACE IS DESIGNED AND HANDMADE BY SUBIRA WAHURE (forgive my swollen face i am so sick for a while now heart problems and low blood pressure...it makes my body swell and face too,lol)
