Ankara elastic dress
The elastic trend has seen garments of all forms made with this technique, such as jumpsuits, dresses, tops, trousers and many others, with the dresses and tops in the lead.
Some are made with the elastic thread sewing method which presents a somewhat stretchy material feel. The elastic thread is used throughout the garment or in some parts such as the midriff area, arms, high neck areas, among others to achieve the desired results of figure-hugging asset reveal.
Just purchase any desired African print piece from any fabric outlet, a screengrab of your most preferred style and a trip to your designer and you are good to go.
These dresses are also readily made and sold at various fashion houses. The stretchy elastic nature makes them “one size fits all”, an added advantage for online purchases.
