This gown is a short, fitted Ankara dress made from a cream-based African print fabric with brown and gold motifs. The bodice is neatly shaped to follow the body, with a round neckline and short sleeves that sit comfortably on the arm. The dress is tailored to define the waist, giving a clean and feminine silhouette.

From the lower hip downward, the dress features a layered flounce (ruffled skirt) that adds movement and volume without making the design heavy. The ruffles are cut from the same Ankara fabric and are softly gathered, creating a playful yet elegant finish. The dress length sits just above the knee.

At the back, the gown has a straight center seam with a concealed zipper for easy wearing and a smooth fit. The overall construction is simple but well-structured, making it suitable for both casual and semi-formal occasions.
