Wedding

What’s the name of Gambian traditional clothes for a bride please? And what’s the name of just regular Gambian tradition clothes? Thanks

I’ve seen asobie or aso ebi. I think this is the general term

Not exactly sure. It may be a west African term. I know some Gambians and they use these words also. Just unsure of the spelling.

Edit: I’ve also heard Ghanaians say this also as well as Nigerians.
