Antique 1900s Palestinian Tatreez Dress

$295.00

“Tatreez” is an ancient Arabic embroidery, usually taught to girls beginning at a very young age. Each motif and colorway tells a story, meaning each Tatreez dress is one of a kind!

Info:
♥ Circa: 1900’s
♥ Label: None, handmade
♥ Color: Black, red, yellow
♥ Material: Polished cotton
♥ Condition: Good vintage condition. Embroidery is pretty much in perfect condition. Some wear to underarms.
