Long skirts or dresses look stylish on Igbo women of all shapes and sizes. Unlike mini-skirts or mini dresses, long skirts can be worn to almost every occasion. They only caution, says Mrs. Okeke, an Enugu-based fashion legend, is: “Take care to wear the right long skirt for your figure.”
She urged all Igbo women to always consider the golden rule of wearing long skirts before wearing one. Which is; “If you have a broad hips, go slim on top.” This means, for instance, you can combine your long flowing dress or skirt with a fitted corset or bustier for a night-out to dinner… lol
