Back to My Roots: Yaad Style Fashion

[Tropicana]

Please post pictures of elegant, classy and MODEST yaad style fashions for casual wear, business, and dress up affairs. Suesumba...I am counting on you. I am trying to catch up with you ...I mean brazen_vizen in deark but the board keeps going blank on me/ [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Also, where in TOronto can I find someone to obtain the material and make me our traditional dress (like what the Miss Jamaica's wear)?

For the life of me, other than Miss Lou, I can't find a photo of a woman wearing this dress...not even a Miss Jamaica:

that looks like the dresses the ladies who sing at the airport wear. I'm sure marilyn has a pic of them...i could swear she may even have a pic of herself wearing same.

Plaid is OK for an accent or a kilt, but I wouldn't wear a whole outfit of it like that frock. Looks like you're wrapped up in a blanket.
