Another great way to wear Igbo lace tops is with lace wrappers. The lace-on-lace is classy, elegant, and yet to go out of style. Designers often make blouses and wrappers of the same colour to give the illusion of lace gowns. On the other hand, when the top differs from the wrapper in colour, it breaks the monotony and adds some oomph.
