FIT NOTE: Many of our pieces are crafted from authentic African wax print cotton, which provides beautiful structure but does not stretch. If you are between sizes, we highly recommend sizing up for a comfortable fit.

How to Measure

Grab a flexible measuring tape and measure directly over your undergarments.

Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust and straight across your back.
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part of your torso, typically just above your belly button).
Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.

ABOUT THIS PIECE

Every name in the Naborhi collection is chosen with care. Mbali comes from Zulu (South Africa) — it means flower. This dress carries that name, cut from Ankara wax print cotton by skilled tailors in Lagos and made to order exclusively for you.

Wear it as shown — the dress does the work. Heels for evening, flat sandals for the day. Gold jewellery. Nothing more needed.

The Fabric

Ankara wax print is one of West Africa's most enduring textiles — bold, structured, and made to be seen. The cotton has real weight to it. It holds its shape, keeps its colour through wash after wash, and moves with the body rather than against it. Originally rooted in Indonesian batik, Ankara was carried to West Africa through trade and claimed so completely that it became its own. Today it is worn for celebrations, for ceremonies, for ordinary days made extraordinary.

Fabric & Care

Wax Print (100% Cotton). Cold wash, low iron. Do not tumble dry. Wash inside out to preserve colour.
