Cut-out Back Skater Dress (Gathered dress): Ezinne


Hey guys,

Thank God its Friday!!! The weeks are moving so fast these days but hey, who's complaining?

Today's feature is centered on the lovely Ezinne Duru, my colleague and friend.
Ezinne is an Account and a Fashion Diva who loves to dance, travel and listen to music. 

Skater dresses are girly dresses that make most girls get in touch with their feminine sides.

Every now and then, ladies need to do away with all the pant-suits, jeans, leggings, etc and get into that easy-breezy girly attire that can be rocked to almost every occasion in sandals, pumps or flats, with or without blazers or shawls.

Zizi (as i like to call her) ordered a dress previously featured on this blog HERE and this is how she rocked her own cut out back dress.

See Ezinne in her dress below:

Winner:                  Ezinne Duru

Wrist Watch:          Michael Kors
Sandals:                 New look

The Knot Wrapper Style (The Lily Wrap Dress) + Tips on How to tie

Hello Fam,

The #TiffanyAmber #LilyTwist inspired wraps have come to stay.
Coincidentally,  the brand’s signature piece, the dress inspired the new #Wrap and blouse in trend at the moment. No event is complete these days without this flattering, chic and sophisticated look.

The fabric (wrap- which could be silk, chiffon or velvet) is worn under a frontal cowl or regular round neck top (short-sleeved or elbow-length chiffon or silk) tucked in and wrapped delicately around to form an inverted knot which gives it an elegant finish.

This piece is a must-have because it flatters all body shapes.


The “Lily Wrap” Dress by Tiffany Amber

The wrapper has made a major comeback in Naija weddings (and other events) this year, with both people tying their george wrappers, velvet, ankara etc in the style, and designers making them as well.


Check out knonyekouture's first knot wrapper style:

Name:             Nonye Udeozor
Outfit:            KnonyeKouture
Neckpiece:       Zara  (Metrogypsie)
WristWatch:    Michael Kors
             







Here’s How To Tie
What You Need: Wrapper of any fabric. Length of fabric depends on your size and how long you want the wrapper to be.
Step 1: Hold ends of wrapper in each hand.
Step 2: Move the ends to opposing sides.
Step 3: Do a double twist from one end to the other.

Step 4: Tie at the back.
Step 5: Tuck in any loose ends.
and you’re good to go!
