Oh, and some commentators have noted that some of the designs look to use the same fabric on a different specific piece of clothing.
From what I understand of African fashion, that's quite common - at least in Ghana. This looks to be more Nigerian than Ghanaian, so I am guessing it's close (Ghanaian formalwear tends to leave the head bare, from what I've seen, and much more black-and-white) - but they'll run off a big roll of fabric, the roll will be unique, and it'll then get used in several individual bits of clothing. At least, that's how most of my in-laws get their Ghanaian clothing made.
You're not, I did. Maybe not so relevant, then, Tanzania's all the way over the other side of the continent.
Bit dicey assuming common practice over such a vast distance. You can kinda get away with for Nigeria - Ghana, because they do quite a few things in very similar ways ... even if they don't like to admit it!
(Thing English and Scots for the kind of antagonistic relationship they've got with each other)
