The women in Cameroon dress in the most colorful dresses and skirts. When it rains for hours each day, it's fun to have bursts of color all over the place. Each pattern and design is different from the last. One of the surgeon's wives, Bertha, made all of us African dresses. She is a very skilled tailor - my dress couldn't fit more perfectly, which is hard to do! She picked out the fabric herself and designed each one uniquely. She made all four of our dresses in 2 days which I imagine would be very hard to do! She is talented and I feel privileged she made me such a beautiful dress.
