Detailed Description: What You See in the Ensemble
Top: A fitted mint‑green peplum top shaped to flatter the waist, featuring structured box pleats that flare gracefully over the hips. The neckline elegantly frames the collar area, drawing attention to the intricately stitched pink embroidery motif at the chest. The sleeves are three‑quarter length with refined tiered/bell flounces, edged in pink embroidered trim for a tailored finish. A back zipper runs from the neckline to the hem of the top for a secure, smooth fit.
Embroidery: The pink threadwork on the bodice and sleeve hems showcases a modern take on traditional African embroidery—precise, symmetrical, and artfully placed to highlight the garment’s sculptural lines.
Skirt: A coordinating mint‑green pencil/column skirt in the same cotton brocade, cut to ankle length for a statuesque profile. The drawstring waist allows an adjustable, comfortable fit while maintaining a clean, formal silhouette. Subtle jacquard motifs in the fabric catch the light for added dimension.
Accessories shown: A pink, pre‑tied Autogele (sold separately), pink jewelry, and blush‑pink pumps complete the scene—styling ideas that complement the outfit’s sophisticated color story.

Drawstring Skirt: The adjustable waist is practical and versatile, accommodating movement without sacrificing a sleek profile—perfect for dancing at weddings or Owambe gatherings.
Color Meaning:
Mint Green: Renewal, serenity, prosperity, and fresh beginnings—an auspicious color for weddings, graduations, and milestone events.
