      <abstract>
        <p>This study explored the use of metallic yarns with cotton and rayon yarns on a manual broadloom to weave fabrics for bridal wear. A twelve-yard fabric, with a lozenge motif, was woven using blue and purple yarns with golden metallic accents. The fabric was made into outfits for a bridal party, creating an illusion of grandeur with the reflective qualities of the gold yarns. This innovative approach highlighted the potential for traditional Ghanaian weaving in modern high-end fashion.</p>
