Traditional fabric from Dodoma, Tanzania brought to you by traveler Allison Eriksen.
"The fabric is a kitenge, which is the name for one type of local fabric. Typically people buy a kitenge and take it to a tailor to be made into clothing. A single kitenge usually makes a matching dress and headwrap, or several shirts or children's clothes. These outfits are often people's "Sunday best" or party clothes for special occasions and can have very eye-catching designs, both in the fabric and in the sewing if a tailor is skilled." —Allison Eriksen
