Moreover, it often comes in different colours and is made of different fabrics such as silk, cotton or rayon.

Lace fabrics are of different types. There’s the one used to make undies, home decor and the ones we use for Owambe.

Rocking these styles is as simple as ABC. The first thing you need to do is to ensure the style you’re opting for flatters your body type.

Once you do this, go ahead and hand over your fabric to a skillful tailor/seamstress. This is very important lest you should experience a case of “What I Ordered vs What I Got“.

When your tailor finishes with your attire, select your accessories not forgetting your hair too. Ensure your hairdo matches the neckline of your dress or vice-versa. This will further make you appear coordinated.

Afterwards, decide on the shoes you’ll wear. Do you want stiletto, block heels, wedge or flats? Go for what will enhance your style and offer you comfort at the same time.

And your bags too. Since some lace fabric glimmers with stones and beads, pair your dress with a minaudière. It’s a type of clutch bag for women without a handle or a strap. It has coloured gems, stones and pearls embossed around it.

You can pick a clutch bag whose colour matches with your attire. You can as well use the same colour of your fabric or a lighter or darker shade of it.

Moreso, if the style you chose has standout details, keep your accessories mild. If not, go ahead and rock statement jewels or anything that can help you stand out and get some positive attention when you turn up.

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
