The Liberian women’s movement lead the way for the signing of the 2003 Accra comprehensive peace agreement which ended Liberia’s 14 year civil war. Yes! Go women!🙋🏻 This dress was made in Liberia from a wax printed cloth called and the head tie is made from a handwoven cotton fabric called “country cloth.” This striped textile was woven on a tripod loom by a female weaver in Grand Cape Mount County located in western Liberia. Chara wrote to us telling us that the area has beautiful coastal areas with amazing surfing spots on gorgeous beaches. Wow, I wish I could see it in person! Thank you so much Chara and Xavier for sending us this beautiful outfit. I’m so honored to have Joey wear this dress especially knowing the history behind the powerful Liberian women’s movement. Thank you and God bless your country!
