My fashion week continues and today....I invite you to Meet the Atenyi dress....I designed and named it after my grandma Atenyi who passed away two years ago. I miss her greatly too much to the point where I avoid thinking about her because the memories are too beautiful. She was an elegant and classy woman... and she rocked pastels to the core.....Honestly I have usually been of the notion that pastels do not work with black skin but of recent that has changed and mind you I should have know better coz they suited grandma Atenyi really well. She loved African print too. She was always dressed so beautifully, even if it was a trip to the garden ten steps away to dig up some cassava or sweet potatoes, she did it in style. I will fondly remember that amongst other things....
As usual,,,,the daily dose of African print is incorporated in the dress, plus chiffon for the lower bit...It has a fish tail feel to as you can see from the train
(south west trains) effect at the back...The front bit also has a bit of chiffonic (does this word exist) ruffle to give it some character....what's a dress without character in my lab....ehhhhh!!! I basically played with different fabrics, textures and colours to get this result....Personally I would wear it with jeggings, treggings, leggings...all those things that end with ings.....or cute denim shorts...trousers are so out of the equation with this dress....xxx
