Owambe outfits and up and down sets
Owambe is where Lagos dresses up. Turkish ready-to-wear brings the shine and the drama without the long wait for a tailor: sequins, lace, bold maxi dresses and matching up and down sets that look made for the day.
Up and down is what we call a two-piece set, a top with a skirt or trousers in the same fabric. It photographs well, it is easy to dance in, and once the party is over you can wear the top and the skirt apart.
These are some of the party looks Winnie has brought in before, for weddings, birthdays and evenings out. They are past pieces, shown for the style. Message Winnie with the date, the colour of the day if there is one, and your size, and she will tell you what she has in now. Delivery reaches every state in Nigeria, so the outfit can come to you wherever the party is.
