*Sponsored Post – Tufafii is a Nigeria-based fashion brand that aims to satisfy the stylish urge of clients who seek a true taste of modern Africa. At Tufafii, the goal is to imbue contemporary fashion concepts with a meticulously designed African aesthetic and the results are timeless pieces that transcends global experiences. African wax prints are not the only fabric that Tufafii is known for. They also create a range of stylish dresses using adire, mudcloth and aso-oke amongst others. The brand’s African print dresses in particular are ethically crafted and handmade with love by local African artisans. Check out Tufafii via Instagram: @Tufafii or shop the dresses directly from their online store.
Mixing prints is always fashion forward and African print dresses are always a big hit for any occasion. Actually, they have become the craze of every summer with celebrities from Beyonce Knowles-Carter to Porsha Williams wearing clothes made out of beautiful wax prints. And while summer is rounding up, the African print remains a universal fabric to be worn in every season. It is no wonder that everyone wants to own an African print dress. Infact, every wardrobe should have one.
However, depending on where you live in North America or Europe, African print dresses are not always easy to find and many women often turn to the internet in search of credible retailers only to find very few sources they can truly trust. Although there are many new brands cropping up all over the Diaspora that sell wax print fashion, you can choose to patronize the brands that are working with local artisans in Africa and Tufafii is one of them.
Tufafii does their best to ensure that when customers get their clothing, it is the right size. If you are wondering about the fitting, you can always measure yourself with a standard measuring tape at home and match it against a size chart. Tufafii has a pretty comprehensive size guide that takes into account all shapes and measurements for US and UK. The sizes in the guide are based on measurements taken directly from the body, not the garment. If your measurement is between two sizes, it is recommended that you select the larger size.
Here are some suggestions on taking your measurements:
- Bust: Measure under your arms at the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape level.
- Waist: Place the tape measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose. This is the narrowest part of the body between the ribs and the hips. Record the results.
- Hip: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Maxi dresses are always great for the hot weather and for regions where it stays warm all year long, I count the people there very lucky. They will be able to wear the long dresses 365 days a year to the beach, weddings, graduation ceremonies and much more. Keep in mind that Tufafii offers shorter African print dresses and when the winter arrives, you will want to wear these shorter styles with your cute ankle or knee-high boots. Finally, the brand offers worldwide shipping so you can definitely get your orders wherever you are located in the world. The shipment will come right to your doorstep and according to their current promo, shipping is free on your order when your purchase is over $100.
