In Uganda kingdom, the gomesi dress, a brightly-coloured, floor-length gown with squared neckline and puffed sleeves, is a symbol of Honour and prestige.
It is fastened with a belt below the waist, above the hips, and has a pair of buttons on the left side of the neckline.
The origins of the gomesi date back to 1905 to a pair of Goan tailors who were commissioned to design a uniform for girls attending a missionary-run boarding school. In time it has easily rose to become the signature dress for Ugandan women, according to several sape aficionados.
