Buba and Iro Folk Costume

Hello everyone! How are you all today? Today's folk costume article is about Buba and Iro from Nigeria. My best friend is from Nigeria and she helped me put together the outfit on Stardoll.

Buba and Iro is a 2 piece set of clothing that consists of a Buba (blouse) and waist wrapper skirt (Iro). This set is usually worn with a head wrap called Gele. This set of clothing is one of the main traditional clothes worn by Yoruba women. It is also a common folk costume in neighbouring cultures but has a different name and style than Nigerian Buba and Iro. Women in Nigeria wear Buba and Iro for special occasions and sometimes day to day wear. The Buba and Iros for special occasions are made of exquisite traditional fabrics. Many brides in Nigeria wear Buba and Iro for their traditional wedding with a matching suit made for the groom.


This is what Buba and Iro and gele looks like:


This is the look I created on SD:


I used 'Ivory Georgette Blouse' from Wild Candy Couture, 'Cream Draped Skirt' from Perfect Day, 'Rose Head piece' from Perfect Day.
