Traditional Dress - Special Occasions - Bridal Outfit


Though it's now common to wear the white wedding gown like in much of the world, the outfits shown here are the traditional wedding garments worn by women-a robe type thing, with the fancy belt and hat. They come in a variety of colors, virtually any one you could imagine, and are often embroidered.




I especially like this orange one. In fact, I think it's my favorite out of all the ones I've seen since I've been here. I took a picture of it also to point something out. The embroidered emblem-NOT the embroidered border along the edges of the robe-you see on the sleeves, the hip, around the knee area, and just outside the breast is very famous. It is the symbol of the sultans.

That orange one is cool. Looks like you can wear it on your wedding day AND your wedding night - especially if you wear it open like that.
