Keep it cool, chic at the races
THE Goat races are back and this time you have it down in your diary as a must- attend affair. You know the expected look... some form of head gear, a dramatic costume. SUUBI NJUKI shows you how to splash out the hot mama that you are!

Button madness
Take a basic dress shape and jazz it up with funky accessories and voila, you have a goat race worthy outfit.

Outfit
A long strapless bright green dress with button embellishments at the hem and bodice.

Tip
This is for the teeny ladies out there... a smart way to increase your visual presence is by embracing bold colour. In this case, a vivid green, worn to the floor, will fool the eye into thinking you are taller than you really are.
Accessories do not have to be flashy to make an impact. Buttons, safety pins, keys and any other ordinary household thingamajig can be used to enhance an outfit.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:
Taffeta, satin, raw silk and even linen or bazaar can be used to create this look.
2- 2 ½ metres of double width should be sufficient .
Buttons to trim the under bust area and the hem can be easily acquired at any trimmings shop.
