I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for native-style prom dresses (for women) and prom tuxes (for men).

Much thanks in advance.

Erm, 1sec.

Ok, if you search around you may find some stuff using ankara.

House-of Adjeiwaah search fb to see whether they may have anything there.

I've been ruminating on this idea for a while and could only say that, the choice of prom dress going by native-style is best exemplified with native prints. Now, the dress sense of the wearer comes to mind, and infact, its the most important when choosing what fabric, colour and style to be made. A typical teenager, with an appetite for anything 'swag' may likely fancy a denim-inspired jacket. A flappy top, doned in adire or ankara fabrics of light/bright colours and a patterned jeans or pant trousers to match. This aspect depends again on the dress taste of the wear. He may decide to go for an ankara patterned pant to match the top, or simply go a jeans, with the latter having a slight touch of the ankara fabric used to make the top. A locally-inspired tux may work just well too. There's a possibility there. The tux is lightly touched with few elements of local fabric at the colar/flap. This will bring out the uniqueness it intends to portray.
For the lady, a cocktail anakara gown, neatly helmed at the knee would make an excellent wear. It should be sleeveless, and the line drawn from the bust.

Thanks for the responses! If you guys could also post pictures, it'll be nice.

Kandiikane, I'll definitely look up that Facebook page. Mcleo, I'll try to post a sketch of a tux soon so that you can give me more advice from there.
