Fashion designer Adeyemi Motunrayo, owner of Sophiexx ng, shared on TikTok that she decided to attend a wedding party in an off-shoulder corset top and a skirt with minimal beading because she wouldn’t wear the outfit again, and we are completely onboard with that choice.

Nowadays, in aso-ebi fashion, corsets and beading are the order of the day. Although beaded aso-ebi outfits are stunning, beading is a very painstaking and delicate process. The beaders who carefully hand-stitch these beads to the fabric spend hours on it.

@___sweetsophie Me and looking for the simplest Asoebi style to sew 🤝😂.. Okay , motigbo !! For cloth weh I no go wear again .. #fashiondesignerinsurulere #sophiexxng ♬ kuzzywizzy – Say hey to Adesewa🥺❤️👸

Additionally, for outfits that take so long to make and cost so much, aso-ebi dresses often have a reusability issue. Once worn, it’s difficult to find another reason to wear the same aso-ebi again unless you repurpose it in some way. That’s why we love Motunrayo’s outfit and don’t mind seeing more aso-ebi outfits without beading, especially for lovers of simple aso-ebi styles.
