Photographed in what appears to be an opulent English manor house — crystal chandeliers, ornate carved wood fireplace, gilded mirror — this lilac and purple fringe asoebi look is as theatrical as its setting. A crystal-encrusted bodice in lilac transitions into a full-length metallic purple fringe skirt that swings and shimmers with every movement. An iridescent purple gele, matching purple stilettos, and a glossy magenta metallic ball clutch complete the look. Mid-dance pose, arms raised, this guest is having exactly the kind of Nigerian wedding reception moment this look was designed for.
A fringe asoebi is one of the most joyful and distinctive looks you can wear to a Nigerian wedding, and it is more achievable than it appears. Metallic fringe fabric can be sourced from specialist party and costume fabric suppliers in Lagos, or ordered from international suppliers. The trick is ensuring the fringe is dense enough to create the full, swinging effect rather than sparsely attached strips. The crystal bodice can be constructed separately as a boned corset in lilac fabric with hand-placed crystals, or you can source a pre-embellished bodice fabric. The fringe can be attached to the bodice or constructed as a separate skirt piece — a detachable fringe skirt over a fitted lining gives you more freedom of movement and preserves the fringe better throughout the night. If you plan to spend the reception dancing — and at a Nigerian wedding, you will — this is the asoebi look for you.
