20 Elegantly Designed Shweshwe Dresses for Makoti

When it comes to designing traditional shweshwe dresses having an active creative mind is a compulsory ingredient. Even though the shweshwe fabric is predominantly blue, there are other colours to work with like green, red, orange and even brown.

Yes the shweshwe fabric pattern is circular, but what other fabric can you combine it with? Satin? Lace? Tulle? Can you bead it, add embroidery or stones?

If you’re planning a lobola ceremony or umembeso, you would want to make sure you stand out as the only official Makoti.
