Contest 48 | Your Favorite Outfit This Week.

bossj23 (78)in Steem Fashion&Style • 2 days ago

Ever seen a masterpiece before, one that's sewn by someone you may not expect? The combination just fits perfectly. People say clothes look best on me no matter how they're worn or the material. Let me tell you about a masterpiece my dad sewed for me on my first display. It's the one and only agbada, and this kind of cloth is worn with stress. It's very uneasy but confident, and it's the only cloth that takes up to 10 years. Just the gown alone is 6 years. Just imagine wearing 10 yards of material on your body. The clothes are the only pieces you can wear to make an entrance as a guy. It's the most fashionable dress.

What's your favorite outfit this week? Describe it by sharing its photos.

My favourite outfit is the Agbada and senator wear. It's a Yoruba outfit and one of a kind, not your regular Yoruba outfit of long gowns. This one is classically for big men. This cloth is a 3-in-1 cloth. You wear a senator and a covering of the senator in the form of a very long garment that you have to fold, or if you want, you can sew it in if you don't want to be lifting it up. But that's the beauty of this cloth.

You must have to lift an agbada with both hands to lap on your shoulders before people see it as an agbada, and this goes very well with a black neck bead on wine colour. This is my favourite outfit for the week. It comes with a cap that's sewn to signify the Yoruba culture. Most Yoruba men love their caps bent to one side of their head or standing straight and still having a bent part at the top. The outfit goes well with a staff you'll have to hold and a beaded shoe, as you can see.

So my outfit is basically

Senator
The Agbada garment
Beaded shoe
A cap
Neck bead
And a staff

This is what makes my outfit, as you can't wear an agbada without a cap. It won't be complete. When I say 'cap', it must be the regular kind of cap of this culture. So this is my outfit, and I'll forever flaunt this outfit because of the following reasons.

Why do you like this outfit?

I love this outfit because it fits me. You may say it sounds very funny to actually say this. Yes, there may be expensive wears out there or in people's wardrobes, but they don't fit them. Another person may wear this outfit, but it won't fit them.

One thing I like about all my clothes is that they fit me, and that gives me the motivation to sew more classy outfits. Normally, I am not rich, but wearing the clothes for an event made it seem like I'm one rich guy with estates and cars.

Another reason why this is my best outfit or why I like the outfit is because of how it's sewn and the colour. The colour and material of a particular piece of clothing matter. No matter the style that is used to sew the clothes, if the material is not beautiful, the clothes won't really give that vibe. The material chosen was wine-coloured, and it was sewn in a way that makes my appearance unique, not too big and not too small. It was giving 'odogwu' vibes.

The clothes were worn with a black neck bead and a beaded pair of shoes. That's what made the outfit unique. The shoe one wears gives preference to the clothes. If I had worn the clothes with a mirror-covered shoe, it wouldn't be giving the kind of vibes that the beaded black shoes are giving. And I held a staff. That completes it.

Where did you get this outfit? Tell me about the location.

Did I tell you that my dad sews or creates garments? If I haven't told you this, know this now. My dad is the one who sees this agbada because it's not a cloth any tailor would just sew. The tailor needs expertise in order to deliver well. This is a full garment, and it did take my dad some days to complete the garment because of the embroidery and garment. If it's the senator, I was the one that sewed it, and it took me just one day to finish it.

We don't do embroidery in our shop, so we had to take it to a professional to run embroidery on the Agbada. So if I'm to share locations, it would be in two places — the location or place we stayed to sew the clothes, which is my dad's shop, and the place embroidery was done. My dad is a professional tailor, and he sews stylish clothes for people, and he gives attention to details more than anything.

What is the value of this outfit? Show us its value in your country's currency and in STEEM currency.

The value of my outfit is worth 150k block, but since my dad and I created the garment, we reduced the cost of sewing to 111k, that's 39k off the total amount if another person were to do it. Let me give you a recount from scratch.
