A gomesi, also known as a Busuuti or Bodingi, is a colorful floor-length dress. It is the most commonly used costume for women in Buganda and Busoga. The Gomesi is considered the traditional dress of Baganda and Basoga women. Traditional male attire is the kanzu. The gomesi has had many changes in its uses and design since its origination.
