Look What They Made: Audrey of Yala Jewellery

Meet Audrey Migot-Adholla, the lovely lady behind the brand Yala Jewellery. Before we get on to her fabulous outfit, I finally get to talk about her brand and the beautiful products they make.

THE DRESS

So on to the dress. Audrey had a wedding to attend and knew exactly what she wanted to wear. To get the right fit, she made a muslin before delving into the finished dress. The construction and fit look absolutely perfect and I can only imagine this took a lot of creativity and patience. It is so lovely to look behind the scenes and share in some of the process to the finished garment.

THE FABRIC

Audrey used our Red and Blue Butterflies Ankara, a cotton wax print fabric from Ghana. As with a lot of wax prints, this design is available in a number of colourways and Audrey went for the snazzy red which has blue and yellow butterflies as well as some floral motifs.
