Whether they are going to church, market, or to any social event, it is common to see our West African women wearing their Kaba & Slit. The Kaba part refers to the top half of the dress and the slit is the skirt-like bottom part. In essence, the Kaba and Slit is the African version of the European long skirt and and tailored top.  |
