THE Wòb Dwiyèt - A 3-PIECE ENSEMBLE

THE GWAN WOB
This is the outer garment. The traditional piece is made with either floral, striped, checkered, jacquard, satin embossed and more recently madras patterned fabric. The front is plain except for a few small pleats at the shoulder and an opening at the front to which fasteners are attached for closure. The back of the dress is very detailed with pleated patterns on the skirting and bodice. The attire is partially lined.

THE FOULA
The original 'foula' was a triangular shawl made with satin or chiffon. Specific colors are used according to the dominant color of the gwan wob.

GWAN JIPON (PETTICOAT)
The gwan jipon is cotton with a drawstring waist and consists of multiple layers of lace. The many layers of lace help to enhance the piece. In the old days, the petticoat sometimes cost more than the Gwan Wob. Often, to reduce the cost the ladies would add a layer every year (instead of spending so much all at once)!

At Vee's Couture, we construct both traditional and modern Wòb Dwiyèt designs. Our pieces are available both as ready-to-wear and bespoke designs. Each Dwiyèt is uniquely designed that despite colour and size,  there are no duplicates. 

For certain, this is one of our most enjoyable pieces to create!
