Moroccan Clothing

Morocco is a country located in Northeast Africa and is known for its rich culture and active traditions such as celebrating weddings as great gala events with brides that are pampered and covered in henna designs. Traditional Moroccan weddings are a seven day affair with numerous pre-wedding ceremonies. Pre-wedding ceremonies include giving many gifts to the bride to help her prepare for married life. 

Takchita (alternate spellings: takshita, tackshita, tackchita) is a Moroccan traditional women's garment that, like the Moroccan caftan, is worn for celebrations, particularly weddings. It is composed of two pieces; a dress as a first layer, often of fine but not ornately decorated fabric, and a more elaborate second layer or over-dress that often buttons up the front using the traditional sfifa and akaad closures. The upper layer is often richly adorned with embroidery, beading or sequins.

come back from a week in Marrakech and Essaouira

I've just come back from a week in Marrakech and Essaouira and found that when I was with my (female) friend I had virtually no hassle, when we went out on our own we both had quite a few blokes come up and whisper things to us while we were walking, usually along the lines of "hi how are you" but one did say something rude. On the whole, neither of us had hardly any hassle and thought all the reports are ridiculously overblown. We both wore long sleeved shirts and long trousers or skirts all the time and wore a little make up as well - as other posters have said it's really hard to imagine why you would wear skimpy tops and things. Tourists who were wearing skimpy clothes seemed to get hassled constantly in the Medina, whereas we didn't at all.

caftan du monde

caftan du monde

In the world of ready-to-wear fabric not only denied access to one of our caftan, everything is allowed, brocade, taffeta, satin, silk, lace, lame, lycra, suede, leather, velvet and other materials.
Our concept of ready-to-wear goes to the heart of our workshops in Paris Casablanca. We divide our assembly held in two stages: by hand and manufacture in accordance with the rules of this art so subtle.

Our creativity has been sent us a precious legacy, that of a mother stylist, seamstress modeller and ready-to-wear western and eastern.
Brought up from an early age in this double culture, my sister and I grew up in the art of styling and the annexes.

Rich in this teaching we orchestrate commodities leaving hatch with freedom their own beauty.
Caftans World is a ready-to-wear developed after a high fashion affordable concept. Of wearable designs that will translate at the top of your beauty for your most precious events.
In an exclusive setting in one size. The World Kaftans style displays with simple and clean lines. By alchemy and harmony materials come into play which offer the most beautiful creation of the world a showcase worthy of her, such a jewelry.
The wife of the World lets himself translate this new symphony.
Our caftans combine richness and originality of oriental handicrafts, mixed with luxury and Western modernity. The color tones enhance the flow of vaporous materials and the variety of lines in the collection comes in attractive design. A style that is sober, discreet, always refined by simple as a corset laced belts. This brace allows the woman plump beauty and rushes his pace.

Caftan paradise


What is the euro fascination with caftans  paradise ?
Not a summer BurdaStyle issue goes by without a caftan. I got back stacks of old issues (I can’t get rid of them, I just can’t – all those great patterns! Possibilities!) from sewing friends, and lo, another two more years of caftans! They’re always shown over bikinis – with a slightly higher waisted one, I’m fine, but the days of the string side-tie bikini for me, well, they are both asleep upstairs, having stretched out my belly to the max.

So, maybe the caftan is the Euro answer for the maxi dress? No, they have several years of those, too, but the caftan, it always is there, in some gauzy chiffon print. Anyway, I probably would really like the caftan – it’s like a maxi dress only a bit more coverage (albeit sheer). They even show kid caftans!

Just an observation. Another one: I love these patterns. Love BurdaStyle. So many years of great style – for me, for the kids, for the home. I know it’s been hard lately with all the business travel hubby is doing (I am surrounded by a mountain of laundry – and there is more washing and drying and on the floor!) to keep up with home, work, kids and squeeze in time for sewing, too. But I’ll get to it next Tuesday Sewing Night.

Of course I say this every summer – but I will spruce up my porch and patio with DIY stuff – chair cushions or covers, lanterns, big floor cushions, something. I’m just never sure of our deck space, something is off about it, it’s too tall or something. I need to bring the ‘ceiling’ down somehow on it. So, if I do that, then there’s a place to wear that caftan, over my bikini, watching the kiddos in the kiddie pool and sprinkler  A thoroughly modern urban mom.

Update: I posted all about how I wouldn’t wear a low cut bikini any more and today someone posted a pic of Julia Roberts on a mom-site facebook post, looking mAHvelous in a bikini with yeah, that stretched out mama twin skin tummy thing from her twin pregnancy (!) and I thought, hurrah! she looked happy and fabulous. And there’s a woman with a camera trained on her all the time. No one will ever care about me or my belly, no one will take a photo of it and post some snarky comment about it. And if they did, I’d just say that I earned my two miracle babies, blood, sweat, tears and forty four grand to get them both. That I loved each of their pregnancies, feeling their little bodies growing and stretching inside of me, and that they were among the most joyful times of my life. Hell, yes. If Julia can do it, so can I. Thanks, Julia, for just being yourself.

Our Weekly Meeting! (published in Morocco)

Our get-together yesterday coincided with the champion's league played live. In the restaurants we went to there was Real Madrid versus Ajax Amsterdam broadcasted. We took advantage of our chat while waiting for the food to watch some of the game.
Adil distributed the postcards that Takahiro Iwasaki left for each volunteer, that he was too shy to handle theme himself, he said. This made us remember some of his jocks with Umberto his roommate and interpreter. Also, the sweet Louise and Michael, they left us last week as well. 
On the other, new volies click it off with old volunteers, as I smell plans are getting set for travel the coming weekend.
