Traditional Fabrics and Dress

Examples of Nigerian textile traditions include adire resist-dyed cloth, akwete weaving and aso-oke weaving. People also use embroidered caps, wrappers, blouses, gowns and other forms of dress whose names and styles vary by community and occasion.

A fabric is the material; a dress or garment is an item made from it. Traditional does not mean unchanging—artists and wearers adapt colour, pattern and style while preserving skills and cultural meaning.
