The Art Of Head-Carrying Maxi Dress

FUN FACTS: Head-carrying is common throughout Africa and India to assist with carrying water, transporting workloads, and competing in dance competitions called "set de flo." Porters in London's Covent Garden Market would also use head-carrying when competing to carry up to 15 stacked baskets on their head. During the Victorian era, young women were told to model themselves after Egyptian water carriers to improve their posture by balancing books or teacups and saucers on their heads as they walked, got up, and sat down.
