African Raffia cloth, from the Democratic Republic Congo.


Just for fun! I just dressed him as a warrior. This  wonderful, handmade Kuba dance cloth from the Dem. Rep. Congo for dance skirt Panel is approximatively 8 meters long, so to make the skirt, I folded the cloth and sew all around the waist  until I got to the size I needed, then I wrapped it around the mannequin, and secured it with some pins. The top part was easy, I only wrapped the short pieces of raffia cloth, secured them with pins. The belt is original.
