IN PICTURES: Showcase of Dominica’s national dress in Canada

Some of the ladies who participated in the event

Over the weekend, Madame Wob Dwiyet Canada (MWDC Inc) celebrated Dominica’s 40th Independence Anniversary with a showcase of Dominica’s national dress in Toronto.

The event was a departure from the organization’s traditional pageant.

Sixteen ladies participated in the showcase under the theme: “Dominica Rise, Wear Your Wobs to Mesmerize”.

The audience was given a ballot to vote for the lady they think did best in their Wob display.

Saran George won the audience vote for “Best in wob” for her innovative wob dwiyet display, performed to a zouk version of Adele’s hit song, Hello.

    Is it that difficult to get sharp photos of an event? These blurry photos made my eyes hurt.
