The Fashion series presents: Habesha Kemis from Ethiopia, the traditional dress of the Amhara people!

This one took FOREVER, good lord. That (gorgeous) embroidery was killer to train, man. But now it's here, and ready to use!

After quite a bit of testing, I recommend just using the main trigger word (amhara), and an additional 'amhara hairstyle' if you'd like that for your image as well. I don't actually recommend trying to tag 'embroidery', it seems to hurt more than it helps.

For the hairstyle, 'curly hair' or 'coily hair' helps a bit with the texture. Illustrious is miserable at textured hair, but if you want to add some polish, try inpainting just the loose hair afterwards with "afro" as a tag. I didn't do this for the samples because it would screw up the prompt metadata for those who like that, but I did have some success with the technique while playing around.

Please show me your beautiful Habesha creations! And if the fashion series is your jam, keep your eyes peeled, I'm flying through some of my WIP lately. What kind of outfit will be next? Hmmm....
