If fairytales can have you dreaming up a storm, then wearing princess/queen gowns and crowns should be easy right? To many, especially those of us in Nigeria and Africa, dressing up as a princess looks nothing like Cinderella. Such a dreamy look involves the use of Ankara prints to create voluminous and elaborate designs that can make a cultural statement.
Turning the African print into a royal-inspired piece is especially common around prom season as many young African girls in and out of Africa look to celebrate the end of their secondary/high school education in something royal and representative of their culture. And you can always trust the right Ankara fabric to deliver that blend of the old and the new along with the desired sartorial splendour.
Whether you’re hunting for Ankara prom dresses, full-volume Ankara aso ebi looks or just snooping around to be entertained, you’ll definitely find these Ankara styles royally inspiring.
Check out the Ankara styles that will have you looking royal AF…

In times past fashionistas were skeptical about a voluminous Ankara gown; however, these days, as long as your design has been carefully planned and drawn out, the probabilities and style options are endless.
