My First Ankara Dress

My aunt used to give me ankara fabrics all the time as gifts or as "payment" for doing her favors.  I always think it's the best gift because there's so much you can do with five yards of fabric.   The only problem with me is that I'm so indecisive.  I held onto my first print forever.  It wasn't until I had accumulated five different prints over a few years that I decided I had to make something happen.  So I did some research, found a tailor, waited a few more months, then finally decided on a style for one of my prints and went for it.

I chose this style because it was something different and I like the military flair.  I forgot to have the hat made as well, but I can still go back and make that later, but I have too much hair for a hat anyway.  I went with a pencil skirt instead of an a-line only because I thought it would look better on me.

Some have said they like the pencil skirt, some say they like the a-line better.  What's your take?
