Ankara Accessories: Necklaces & Earrings

  * Zi's friend made me an Ankara necklace which I'll describe as a fabric covered pearl necklace. Being an engineer, I mentally deconstructed it, figured out how to make one and it's the inspiration for some of the pieces below. More pieces will be available on ZiChi's soon-to-be-opened Etsy store.

Monochromatic Maxi

   * At my height, I don't always find long dresses that are long enough so making this maxi dress was worthwhile and I think I will make more.
     The length + the softly draped bodice + the black and white pattern = awesome maxi!!!

Special Request: Maternity Lace Halter Gown

  * Made for a wonderful lady expecting a baby boy in about 3 months. From what I observed, she is the queen of her husband's heart and I hope this dress truly made her feel like a queen. The best part? This dress would still fit amazingly post-baby.
