I have drawn up two possible designs for the African womens dress. I have taken my main inspiration from the Church Elder outfits. This style of dress would be relatively easy to adapt into a Puritain dress by merely tucking the top into the skirts  and adding an apron. Also if the whole outfit is made up of nutral colours than an accent shawl or scarf in an African print can be added to give the piece an extra accent. The headdress also is quite a strong indicator of nationality, so even with a plain top annd skirt it is clear that they are African.
