This is much more of a tunic, full in form, with the matching pants (one size fits all) held by a drawstring. The embroidery and beadwork is on Yoruba Ashoke strip woven textiles. Although a wonderful example of  Yoruba beadwork, some of the beadwork (the faces and figure) appears to have been added later and it could have been enhanced to be sold.
