This stylish Xhosa traditional wear meets all the symbolic needs of the culture. Starting from the head wrap, to the knee length dress, the bride serves respect to the Xhosa elders and sends a deterrent message to potential suitors respectively. The twist with this dress is that it combines the modern dressing needs with traditional symbolism to achieve a great look. The layered quality of the dress makes it more attractive. Like other Xhosa dressing style, the outfit took beadwork into account. The bride wears the beads on her neck and spreads them across her shoulder. To crown it all, she wears an off shoulder cloak that extends down to the ground level and has beautiful blue-orange line patterns at the bottom
