Wendy Tsuma crafted a vibrant African fabric maxi skirt and an A-line dress for Damar, blending beauty and practicality, complete with discreet pockets. What's your wish?
A request by Damar from Nairobi, Kenya
I would like a beautiful set of a maxi skirt which should be floor length, gathered, with pockets and an A-line knee length dress with pockets possibly with small sleeves or not made of African fabric with vibrant colours. Thank you.
