Hello Hive.
Mixing colors in fashion has been one of my greatest challenges as a designer in training, this is such a bad attribute for anyone who wants to make something attractive from different fabrics with different colors. Everything has to match unless you want people talking about your style of an outfit.
Its toward the end of the year already and this season is characterized by celebrations and partying of various sort.
We have got to be sewing "Aso-ebi" a common cloth that family and friends pick and have their folks wear thesame to attend their occasions.
For instance if am getting married today I will pick a fabric of choice and have people in attendance to buy Sew and wear them to my party.
Almost everyone will put on the same outfit unless one is not buoyant enough to engage in purchasing my outfit.
Here is an Aso-ebi for a wedding coming up this weekend, I didn't buy much of the fabrics, just 3yards and this is what I made of it.
The confusion with mixing colors came, the fabric has three different colors used in its design, the blue background color mixed with black and a touch of white and yellow.
4 different colors in one Ankara fabric.
Yellow is too much of a bright color and I can't use it, blue has dominated the fabric so I was left with either mixing with a black or white.
I got a suggestion that the black would have been perfect to cool off the other color, while in the meantime I have already purchased a white satin, so expensive I can't afford to dump it and purchase black.
So I went ahead with the white and that was my outcome.
An off shoulder dress with a front peplum.
What do you think of the white, is it too off for this dress?.
Hello beautiful God bless you, I liked the dress, that print is beautiful, keep up the good work.
The white looks nice, although black may have complimented it nicely too. I know I'd go for black if I were to make something like this. Nevertheless, the dress is pretty.
Thanks sis... Maybe a little dislike for black didn't let me consider it.

I love the white! Black would have worked, too. Any of the colors of the print would make good accents. When I work with a print fabric, I put other fabrics next to it to see which accent makes the right details "pop." I do the same mixing colors in knitting--making small swatches with different combinations until I have a favorite. !BBH
I think I will have to borrow your idea and begin to sew small patches.
Probably I will get used to mixing colors.
Thanks for the idea sis ❤
