Description
Discover timeless Nigerian craftsmanship with this Original Hand-Woven Akwete Buttoned-Down Dress, a tailored piece that brings traditional weaving artistry into a refined, modern silhouette. Each dress is crafted from genuine Akwete cloth, making every pattern detail rich, textured, and one-of-a-kind.
The Pattern
The fabric showcases a highly structured geometric design arranged in horizontal bands, with intricate zigzags, chevrons, and small rectangular blocks. The earthy color palette of black, cream, muted gold, and deep burgundy gives the dress a warm, grounded elegance that’s instantly recognizable as authentic Akwete weave.
The Silhouette
Cut as a tailored, straight sheath dress, this piece falls to a flattering midi length just below the knee — offering a polished, structured fit that flatters the natural shape.
The Neckline & Closure
A high, stand-up mandarin collar adds a refined, structured finish at the neckline, complemented by a visible buttoned placket running down the center front for a tailored, classic look.
The Sleeves & Trim
Long, fitted sleeves complete the streamlined silhouette, while a standout thick, textured black trim — fringe or faux fur — accents both the cuffs and the hemline, adding a bold, statement-making contrast to the structured woven pattern.
