Asoebi for Orobo and Lepa
i have these two friends, Odion and Ovbokhan, lovely sisters who love to attend "owambe (parties)" together. They have a striking resemblance from the neck up, but are very different from the neck down. Though from the same loins, Odion managed to pack some additional curves while Ovbokhan is quite slender. They often put on the same clothes as twins even as adults. the annoying part of the story is that they usually copy each others styles to all the Owambes that they go for -like seriously?
As a better fashion designer, i have encumbered myself with the burden of talking some sense into their heads that this twin dressing does not work well for both their shapes but this has yielded no postitive result. So i am here to ask my 'Kuntry' poeple to helep me for dis mata!
I am not saying outrightly never make the same style of dresses, but a lot of times, a little alteration here and there can make a whole lot of difference for a slimmer or curvier person. Some Saturdays i stroll out, not necessarily for an Occassion but just to observe the styles on people going for weddings and other parties. Its the same story of Orobo over showcasing and Lepa not helping her ministry all over the place. When shall we learn?
Take for instance this mermaid skirt that is making the rounds.
The real thing it does is to enhance what little shape you may have and make it look enormous or at least more than it is; therefore a super curvilicious Odion should not be wearing it. Same goes for the voluminous two sided peplum which also gives the illusion of more hips especially when paired with a mermaid skirt like in this picture below. A less flouncy style would work better for Odion, still showcase her 
curves because they cant be hidden anyways but not make her look as if she is trying to sell some body part product.
Just some honest fashion opinion for this hardworking Nigerian youth.
Fashion na the main thing!
