Pads are foam-like materials that come in different thicknesses, shapes and sizes, attached to the bust, hip and butts of a female gown to give it a figure 8 shape. With N20,000 to N30,000, you can have it in a gown depending on your shape (either slim, moderate or fat).
Hips and Butt pads in fashion designing have been there for a long time but people are not going for them because they have other alternatives.
According to a lady who is a fashion freak “Such a gown gives you this elegance and confidence when worn.”
A gym instructor gave details:
“Gym classes for a year is N300,000 above, six months N250,000 above, three months N100,000 above, monthly is N50,000 above, 7 days to 10 days N30,000 above and family members of four are N1.2 million above per year, the prices have tripled compared to two years ago.”
The high cost of goods and services has made women transition from one beauty lifestyle to another.
The transition in beauty lifestyles ranges from facial surgeries to artificial make-ups, then to no makeup at all.
A lady simply identified as Lola said, “Some of my friends go to the gyms almost every morning. Now they are tired and complaining of the rise in the prices of gym classes. With hips and but pad in my gowns, I am good to go.”
