Psst, wanna know who Nehanda is?
Charwe, better known as Mbuya Nehanda, was a spirit medium of an ancestral spirit known as mhondoro. Nehanda led a rebellion against British occupation in the 19th century, when the British South Africa Company (BSAC), invaded Mashonaland (currently Zimbabwe) and confiscated the land and livestock of the native people living there to find gold. Charwe belonged to the Shona people, one of the local ethnic groups. Together with the mediums of the other two mhondoro, Mukwati in Matabeleland and Kaguvi in western Mashonaland, Nehanda organized and led her people’s resistance until she was captured. Nyakasikana was instrumental in planning where the Shona would make their attacks, targeting infrastructure, such as mines and farms, that were economically significant to the British. Nehanda’s last words before her execution by the British, “My bones shall rise again,” are believed to have predicted the second Chimurenga (“War of Liberation”), which resulted in the independence of present-day Zimbabwe.

This feels like the perfect princess dress. The neckline is so pretty, and the skirt has enough fabric to swoosh. The colour is simply beautiful and I really am a fan of linen, since this is a breathable fabric.

Beautiful dress in every way! I love the smocked back, that extends to the waistline. It allows flexibility for my body, and makes the dress not only beautiful but also very comfortable.

The most comfortable dress I own! It’s beautifully made and structured enough to wear without a bra. The fabric is perfect and breezy for summer!

Really beautiful dress and a gorgeous colour, I love the sleeve effet ! I ordered a personalized sizing as I am an A shape (4XL top and 5XL skirt), contrary to the komako dress in my same order this one was a bit big at the chest for me, so you might need to size down on this one if your are like me, but it was nothing I couldn’t fix on my own and I absolutely love it. The fabric screams high quality and durable, it’s a dress I will wear time and again in all seasons.
