Moroccan Clothing

Moroccan caftans are long dresses that can be plain, striped, or decorated with elegant and delicate embroidery. Made with a huge variety of colors, fabrics and patterns, kaftans can be customized in many different ways using some nice accessories.
Unlike kaftans, Moroccan takchitas are composed of two pieces. A long basic garment with no ornaments us used as a first layer called Tahtiya, with a more elaborate second layer or over-dress called Fouqia or Dfina. This second layer is often a kaftan with a lot of beautiful embroidery, beading and ornaments that often buttons up the front using the traditional sfifa and akaad closures.

While Moroccan kaftans are usually worn loosely, Moroccan takchitas are worn tighter with a belt known as Mdamma either made of silk, gold or silver, and adorned with precious stones like sapphires, emeralds, rubies or diamonds.
