Abstract Ruby: Asymmetric Peplum Gown in Graphic Ankara | OutfitLibrary
Shot in a cream studio with dried botanical arrangements, this look is the most fashion-forward in approach — it fuses Ankara wax print with lace in a way that challenges the conventional asoebi hierarchy that places plain lace above print fabrics. The gown is constructed from a bold pink, gold, and chocolate tiger-print Ankara that runs from shoulder to floor, cut as a fitted column with a dramatic front slit. The bodice is overlaid with blush pink embroidered lace that extends into sheer long sleeves, adding intricacy above the waist while letting the bold print lead below. The headwrap matches the Ankara exactly. The finishing touch is a hand-painted butterfly clutch in matching tones — a bespoke accessory that makes this look distinctly styled rather than assembled.
The key decision in recreating this look is sourcing an Ankara print that has tonal alignment with your lace overlay — you want the two fabrics to feel like they were always meant to share a garment. Bring both to your tailor together before cutting. The butterfly clutch can be sourced from Nigerian artisan bag makers on Instagram or Etsy who offer hand-painted clutches in custom colourways.
