Speaking with a staff member from Xtrabrides, Legit.ng confirmed that the dress was made from raw goatskin leather - which is very expensive. According to the lady, the dress cost over N1 million
She said:
"It cost most than N1 million because that is raw leather from goatskin and it went through a lot of processes before the dress got done. The fabric, alone, is not even cheap. She wore raw goatskin against other people who just wear leather imitations."
The staff also explained that Zara was very particular about the material because the use of goatskin for her dress holds cultural significance hence the reason for rocking the unique piece.

Muslim bride rocks stylish dress
There are many ways to dress fashionably while maintaining a great amount of decency and this is exactly what a Nigerian bride recently did for her big day.
The Muslim community is big on modest dressing among women of the Islamic faith thus most Muslim brides often go for wedding dresses that cover the entire body.
While some may prefer to go for the safe and conventional looks, there are some who get creative with their style. One of such is Zainab whose wedding dress is nothing short of elegant.
