ZEBRA PRINT IN A PINK DRESS
THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN 2009 WHEN I WAS A SECOND YEAR STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DAR ES SALAAM...I REMEMBER I HAD MADE A ZEBRA PRINT HIGH WAIST SKIRT AND THERE WERE FEW LEFTOVER PIECES OF FABRIC SO I DECIDED TO WORK WITH THEM FOR A PATCHWORK FOR ANOTHER DESIGN.
WHEN I WAS MAKING THIS DRESS I DID NOT THINK OF ANYTHING EPIC OR NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE ANY IMPACT TO OTHER PEOPLE...BUT AFTER I WORE IT I GOT A LOT OF STARING AND ASKING OF MY FUNDI AND WHERE I GOT THE DRESS,WHERE I GOT THE FABRIC AND WHAT KIND OF FABRIC I USED TO MAKE THE OUTFIT.YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW HAPPY I WAS JUST TO KNOW THAT I DID A GOOD JOB BY A SIMPLE CREATIVITY,SO I GOT A LOT OF ORDERS FOR THIS DRESS,SOME WANTED IT IN THIS COLOR,OTHERS IN RED OR EVEN BLACK.
THAT WAS BACK THEN BUT WHENEVER I WEAR THIS DRESS I REALIZE I GET THE SAME KIND OF STARE AND QUESTIONS AND ORDERS JUST LIKE FOUR YEARS BACK...THIS MEANS THAT MY PIECES ARE TIMELESS
BELOW IS THE SKIRT I MADE BEFORE THIS DRESS WHERE I GOT THE LEFT OVER PIECES FOR PATCH WORK,I PAIRED IT WITH A RUFFLE TOP FROM MWENGE,MATCHING SHOES AND BELT AND ZEBRA PRINT EARRINGS AND INDIAN SET OF BUNGLES
I USED TO LOVE MATCHING MY OUTFIT AS YOU CAN SEE IN BOTH DRESSES BUT I THINK I STILL DO
