At TUBỌ, every dress we create tells a story—one rooted in tradition, elegance, and a deep understanding of the woman wearing it. Bella’s journey with us was one of those stories, layered with culture, love, and our commitment to excellence. After her first stunning lilac lace gown, Bella returned for a second dress, one that would honor her transition into a Yoruba wife and embrace the cultural heritage that held so much meaning to her.
A Dress Rooted in Tradition
For Bella’s second dress, we chose Aso-Oke—a fabric that is much more than material; it’s history woven into every thread, cherished in Yoruba culture for its richness and significance. But at TUBỌ, we don’t just work with tradition—we reimagine it. We added our signature touch by pairing Aso-Oke with Plisole, a modern pleated fabric that brought a new dimension of elegance to Bella’s dress, blending the old and the new in perfect harmony.
The Quest for Perfection
Creating Bella’s dress wasn’t just about the fabric—it was about making sure everything was a perfect reflection of her story, and that meant matching her dress to her husband’s attire. What seemed like a simple task turned into a journey of finding the perfect fabric. After multiple attempts, it felt like fate when a piece of his original fabric, thought to be lost, was discovered in London. From there, our team in Nigeria sprang into action, ensuring every detail of Bella’s dress was a seamless blend of love, respect, and cultural pride.
Crafting Against Time
Time was not on our side. With the wedding set for Monday and the dress still in Lagos on Friday, the pressure was intense. But at TUBỌ, we don’t compromise on quality—ever. A stroke of luck came when a friend traveling to London agreed to carry the dress, ensuring it would reach Bella in time. Meanwhile, I was dealing with my own personal battle—fever and exhaustion—but I boarded that flight because this was about more than a dress; it was about fulfilling our promise to Bella.
The Day of Grace
When Bella walked out in her Aso-Oke gown, she wasn’t just wearing a dress—she was wearing her heritage. The structured bodice, the pleated details, and the modern twist we added to this traditional fabric made her a vision of grace and power. Every detail was a reflection of our craftsmanship, and seeing Bella step into her new chapter with pride was a moment of immense fulfillment for all of us at TUBỌ.
Craftsmanship Beyond Borders
Bella’s second look was not just about a dress—it was a story of our relentless dedication to our craft, our respect for tradition, and our unwavering commitment to our clients. At TUBỌ, we go beyond expectations. We overcome challenges, cross borders, and pour our hearts into every piece we create. Because for us, it’s not just about fashion—it’s about crafting moments, honoring legacies, and celebrating love in its purest form.
