Iro and Buba is a traditional attire that is worn by women and ladies of the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria. However, in our society today, this attire has become a trend as it has expanded into other ethnic groups in Nigeria.
In the past, its traditional form was very prevalent but presently, it now takes on styles that are more fashionable to look better and beautiful. It is vibrant and fun to wear. The Iro and Buba can be worn for several occasions such as traditional marriage, Owambe, Asoebi, and other ceremonies or festivities.
In Yoruba, Iro means Wrapper while Buba means blouse. The wrapper and blouse come in one piece where the wrapper is tied around the waist or knotted in the front. To sew the Iro and Buba, many materials can be used.
Some of them include Lace, Ankara, Aso oke, Silk, cotton, and George. The Buba may be sewn as either short sleeve, long sleeve, puff sleeve (known as “Oleku” in Yoruba), or even as a peplum or straight blouse. Multilayers with feathers or ruffled designs can be added to make the wrapper more stylish.
