I'd go with 10 or 14, they don't just look like sexy dresses, but something that could be worn on a regular basis rather than formal occasions.

North Africa, Ethiopia and South Africa are regions I would like to visit and look into. Lots of cultures, opportunities, and between the orthodox and muslim not necessarily support, but tolerance of polygamy.

[NorthAfrican]

polygamy is illegal in Tunisia and fairly uncommon in the rest of North Africa

[razelove]

Like I said, not necessarily support, but tolerance. Really out of all those countries I would want to see Constantinople the most, Egypt, Ethiopia, and then head to South Africa. I want opportunities, excitement, culture that dates back thousands of years, and pleasure.

Of course I wouldn't travel anywhere in Africa without getting at least a Makarov pistol first. The governments are too unstable before even going into any other aspects. I also want to export arms from the US, so Africa is somewhere I need to visit and make connections at.

That's getting off topic though, all the dresses look fabulous.

[NorthAfrican]

I personally don't think polygamy is morally wrong it was even practiced by Biblical figures and European Germanic tribes including France's first christian king clovis.
But thank you!

All of them are unqiue in their own way, and this dresses show how deep and amazing north African culture is.

Thanks for Mho

[Lliam]

Great photos. What a wonderful tour of Tunisian, Algerian, and Moroccan culture.
Thank you!

I think I like #3 the best. I also like 4, 9, 10, 12 and 17, but most of them are lovely. I think traditional North African women's fashion is charming. And the women are beautiful.
I would include Palestinian.

In picture 10, what is she wearing on her ankle? I've never seen anything quite like it.

The packaging doesn't matter, the contents are what counts.

[blondfrog]

I like 1,5,9,10,14, and 17 the most. Really sexy <3.
