The Kalabari Tribe


Most individuals in our society believes being thin is what makes an individual visually appealing as well as healthy but in The Kalabari tribe the fatness or plumpness of a women is what is considered to be the sign of beauty. It is always important to gain knowledge on distinctive cultures as well as figure out What others have to say about the meaning of DRESS? and What values/ideals they hold on the meaning of BEAUTY?

The Wrappers are large pieces of cloth that comes in variety of colors and patterns
that is wrapped around the midsection of the body to emphasize the roundness of a womens figure (shown in the image above).
