Good morning Hivers 💕💕

I'm so excited to share with you this morning my latest creation with how I made this lovely 3 piece kaftan that comprises of the top known as buba, trouser known as sokoto, and the overall top known as Agbada.

This dress is mostly worn by Yorubas in western Nigeria for occasions like coronations, traditional weddings, cultural day etc..

The fabrics used is called OFI also known as Aso Oke.
According to Google:
Aso oke fabric, (Yoruba: așǫ oke, pronounced ah-SHAW-okay) is a hand-woven cloth created by the Yoruba people of west Africa. Aso oke means "top cloth" in the English language, denoting cloth of high status. It is usually worn by men and women. The fabric is used to make men's gowns, called agbada and hats, called fila, as well as women's wrappers, called iro and head tie, called gele.

Below are the materials used and I got it done.
