24 Gorgeous Costumes from Barbados Crop Over 2016

Last weekend Barbados celebrated its annual Crop Over Festival. People from around the world gather for the celebration.

In case you're wondering, here's the official description of Crop Over.

The Crop Over summer festival is Barbados' most popular and colourful festival. Its origins can be traced back to the 1780's, a time when Barbados was the world's largest producer of sugar.

At the end of the sugar season, there was always a huge celebration to mark the culmination of another successful sugar cane harvest - the Crop Over celebration.

We're in awe of the gorgeous women and their incredible costumes. Here are a few of our favorites.
