Spontaneous Igbo attire for a traditional service
It was just one of those Spontaneous Sundays. I have recently developed this habit of choosing outfits for a Sunday service on a Sunday morning. And for some reasons I cant really explain the emergence of this knew attitude and the confidence behind it.
Probably one of the days I would get so disappointed and have to stay back from church, I would retrace my steps and work better on this attitude.
It was a cultural service organized by the youth department in my local church. I had been contemplating on what to wear for on the service eve as I am representing the Igbo culture. I made a quick stop at the Internet to surf on most of the interesting outfits or perhaps pattern of outfits of the Igbo tribe. Nearly every I saw there was sewn and properly styled by fashion designers. Remember I said it was the service eve, midnight by then and there will definitely no need to disturb a fashion designer by then. I slept peacefully like someone who is ready for the service but I wasn't. Fast forward to the morning time when I dashed into my aunt's room to borrow some of her George wrappers. I planned on styling this wrapper with a top but I also didn't want to look like an elderly person.
I decided to tie the wrapper on my chest tho, it's part of the culture. Normally I should be bare bodied, then wrapped the wrapper round my Breast but because I was going to church and I needed to look modest,I decided to wear a top on. I tied the two pie material round my breast and gave a rose knot at the back.
I went ahead to Decorate it with the few bead piece and my horse I had to give that cultural look. Next stop was my head gear. I made it from an ashoke piece and wore it beautiful like a crown. Inasmuch as I was very confused and spontaneous of what to wear previously,I looked gorgeous hand-styling this piece the following day.
I represented my tribe, didn't I???
