Aso Ebi in Lagos — Fabric Prices & Tailors
3 fabric tiers · top markets · designer tailors · lead times
Aso ebi — the matching fabric worn by family and guests at a Yoruba ceremony — is one of the visible cost lines for any traditional wedding. Tier 1 (basic ankara/lace): ₦8K-₦20K per yard, 4-6 yards = ₦35K-₦120K material only. Tier 2 (high-quality lace, Sego, brocade): ₦25K-₦60K/yard = ₦100K-₦360K. Tier 3 (designer, Swarovski-embellished): ₦80K-₦250K/yard = ₦320K-₦1.5M+. Add tailor: ₦40K-₦200K depending on complexity.
Tip: Aso-ebi is optional — the N500K viral Lagos wedding skipped it entirely. If you include it, per-set cost to guests ranges from N25K (ankara) to N80K-N220K (aso-oke/lace). The couple typically subsidizes 30-50% of fabric cost and recovers through guest purchases.
