Collection: African Print Fabric for Dresses

Shop African print fabric for dresses from The Ankara Shop. Our 6-yard Ankara and African wax print fabrics are perfect for creating bold, elegant and memorable dress styles for weddings, church, birthdays, parties, family occasions and everyday statement looks.

Whether you are planning a maxi dress, fit-and-flare dress, wrap dress, shirt dress, tiered dress, peplum dress or a matching dress and headwrap, our African print fabrics give you plenty of colour, pattern and personality to work with. Each fabric is sold as a 6-yard piece, giving you enough material for many popular dress styles, depending on your size, design and tailor’s measurements.

Our prints are carefully selected for customers who want fabric that feels special, stylish and outfit-worthy. From bright statement designs to elegant florals and bold geometric prints, you can find African fabric suitable for modern dressmaking and occasionwear.

All fabrics are ready to ship from the UK. Most designs are available in limited quantities, so once a print sells out, it may not be restocked.
