^^Is the swimwear fabric different, if yes, how wide?

I will be back later (bath water getting cold )

Pls tell me when your expecting the fabric sample.

Please tell me how many of each

SIZE "XL"  WILL TAKE MORE THAN SIZE "S"

How many dresses, break down the sizes.

How many blouses, break down the sizes.

How many swimwear in total, tell me how many in each size.


PLEASE CHECK THIS  WITH YOUR DRESSMAKER.

When are you expecting the fabric sample?

^

Do not give yourself a headache .

Dress, 1 1/2 yards of each colour ( I would buy 2 yards of each colour).

Blouse, 1 yard of each colour ,  OK  I SEE, THE BLOUSE DOES NOT HAVE A BACK, SO LESS FABRIC NEEDED

Swimwear 1 yard of white  and 3 yards of green (I would buy 2 yards of white and 3 yards of green)


READ THIS CAREFULLY, YOU ARE ONLY MAKING 1 SAMPLE OF EACH,IS THIS CORRECT?

Ok. What size is the dress?

How much of the blouse and swim wear would you say is white?

. .

Tell me, are all items designed in half white and half green?

^^
Read it again, I've made some changes

Ok I really could not tell the shade of the greens, so go with what's  suitable.


The amount of fabric I quoted was for fabric 36 inches wide
so if 58/60 ,I would go for 4yards (depending on how tall and large the person is)
I also go for a very full maxi, not the skimpy fit.

In fairness I always over buy, just for room to maneuver.
I hate to buy too little with coloured fabrics, the next roll always comes up slightly different.

The designs, are the colours exactly half and half? (the blouse isn't half and half)

Check with your dressmaker, remember to tell her how wide the fabric is.

Check back later, tell me exactly how wide the fabric is.

yeah big sys, dreamz is right.

Batik and campala are very similar, what distinguishes them is the method used to transfer print on them.
in Batik the prints are transfered by using wax, while in Campala the prints are transfered using the tie and dye method.
You should try and compare the prints that were on the fabric your mum got u,and you problem is solved.

Your such a smart baybsis

That's exactly what I intended doing, but your have just cleared up any doubt.

It  was not tie and dye, I have a few tie dye outfits I am not keen on that.

mydreamz:
Campala is different from batik, there are just a little simillarity, I used to live in Abeokuta so I know those things,

Thank you for all this information. I am very grateful.

I will  check out Campala.

mydreamz:
I think u re talking about Campala, its still dyed in nigeria, especially in abeokuta,

Thank you very much.

I have just been given some great info on abeokuta.

I will check and see if Campala is the same as Batik.

Thank you.

^^^My sis in-law over in Lagos at this time.

       I will give her this info, hopefully she can check it out for me.

       Please could you tell your mother a BIG THANK YOU.

       @bayb sis you have been a great help.

baybbootz:
hey big sys.
My mum says its called, BATIK,its still being made in abeokuta here in nigeria.

A BIG THANK YOU.

Honey pls could you ask your mother if the batik is on wax fabric that can be made into clothing.

I have batik art, some I made myself but it looks different from the old wax fabric that we made into clothing.

If by any chance your mother would allow you take a pic of any she owns, I will give you your weight in gold

But if not I will follow up this lead you have just given me.

LOVE YOU

baybbootz:

My sis-in-law said they  are no longer being hand dyed.

If you are able to get any info, pls could you come to my Ankara thread again, I will give you my email addy.


@Poster please forgive me for going off topic

atilla:
madlady i thot u were Jamaican how come u know so much of ankara??

Do like above poster said and google jewels by lisa folawiyo, she makes beautiful stuff with ankara, so itll help how to mix colours and stuff.

How do you know that?


Actually I've been using  "wax" for over a decade, I've only just realised it's called "Ankara.

My mother introduced me to the beautiful hand dyed wax, it was dyed in Nigeria.

Sadly I cannot find any of that, such a pity it was as good as wearing an artist's painting.
