Evolution of Women's Dress: An Ifa Perspective

[Omowale]

I came across this old tweet that sheds light on the evolution of breasts covering in pre-colonial Yoruba societies. I can't really vouch for the credibility of the author but they share a verse from Irete Meji. Checkout the tweet below and feel free to share what you think:

THE EVOLUTION OF WOMEN'S BREASTS COVERING:

AN IFÁ PERSPECTIVE: the Ifá Evolution story illustrates that, women were dressing half naked, with a wrapper on their waist, which leaves the breasts open, in the 12th century.
