Patchwork print dress for young girl

The Print is the signature outfit of the Krios of Sierra Leone. The Krios are descendants of freed formerly enslaved people from Britain, the southern USA, the Caribbean and African countries. They were brought to Sierra Leone and founded ‘Freetown’ in the late 1700s.

The Print has undergone a great transformation from the traditional designs worn by women to several new trends that experiments with the cut, fabric, and uses. Today Prints are used for multiple purposes like work, weddings, naming ceremonies, birthday parties, and general everyday wear. The Print used to be worn by women, but today young girls wear them.

This shows a patchwork print outfit made for a young girl. This marked departure from the traditional fabric and design of the Print, and shows greater acceptance by different demographics.
