Howdy y'all. This look is so late, it's actually from this past spring in April! Since we're stepping into the autumn season, I said "Let me hurry up and post this so I can snap on the fall fashion." I grabbed this African print one piece jumpsuit for the FREE at an African centered community event last winter. Someone was giving away African clothing, I peeped this and snatched it up oh so quickly before someone else did! Now as a Black American, I think it's very important for us to do our best to research different pieces of African clothing. I just posted a blog about spotting out fake dashikis and African fabrics and how to find the real deal.
I was told that this is a West African/Senegalese print
and garment but I suspect it's could be Ghanian (some West African styled
clothing is similar). The design of the print has floral elements in the patterns, but from my research
to specify what exact kind of fabric this is, perhaps it's AkyekydeÉ› akyi
(means "back of tortoise") because of the tortoise shell like
patterned design and the overall retro style of the jumpsuit. I'm still
welcomed to more education and correction on the fabric and the meaning behind
it.
If I'm wrong about this print and where it originates (hell even if you think it's a knock off), please send me information to correct me! Thanks for reading.
