A Must-Have for our classy ladies!<\/p>\n

This gorgeous gown created by Nigerian<\/p>\n

Eva Gabarra for Labo Ethnik<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to African Print, Labo Ethnik\u2019s<\/p>\n

got you covered. This gown created by Senegalese<\/p>\n

designer Eva Gabarra (@EvaGabarra) for Labo Ethnik<\/p>\n

is definitely a statement piece. The Ankara fabric used for<\/p>\n

this gown has a richness of color and will blend well with every<\/p>\n

complexion. The bold prints embedded in the Ankara fabric<\/p>\n

makes this gown truly divine.<\/p>\n

Lanre Da Silva-Ajayi Couture<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

The saying \u201cSubtle colors are very pleasing to the eye\u201d describes this<\/p>\n

gown. This gown created by Nigerian designer Lanre DaSilva Ajayi<\/p>\n

(@LDACouture ) just yells couture. Tts detailed V-cut and<\/p>\n

subtle fabric color with a hint of lace material makes this gown<\/p>\n

truly breathtaking. The best part is its floor-sweeping length, which would<\/p>\n

make EVERY woman feel like more regal than she is.<\/p>\n
