Location: An adventure in a local Market

| |- I decided to explore the options I could get in a big local market in Eket,Akwa Ibom where I was as at the time. They were so many options to choose from. Different exquisite materials hanging around waiting to be chosen but of all that particular lace caught my eye. As it called to me in particular. Instantly I pictured a perfect dress out of it and I didn't hesitate to purchase it. I described how I imagined and wanted the dress to be and my tailor took it personal. And she made this dress that not only shone brightly, but turned heads. I remember catching a few glances of people staring at the dress, some even sneakily took a few pictures hoping to recreate the design. I no doubt felt very confident as I could tell the dress was giving nothing less than 100/10.
