Traditional Palestinian Dresses

A woman stands amidst traditional Palestinian embroidery clothes.

One thing about traditional Palestinian women’s dresses you will see some of the most intricate embroidery that is not seen anywhere in the world and it has been from what I have seen the most sought after dresses in the world because of there beauty and handwork.

Other items most prized by many, is also our wall hanging and pillows covers among the almost unlimited quality of other items.

The few dresses that I have, I must admit I have gotten numerous complements for the beauty and as well as the lavish embroidery work, which in most cases is the majority of the whole dress.
Personally, I have always loved the free flowing sleeves that you find on these beautiful traditional dresses.

Furthermore, what many people may not think about, is while these dresses may be seen with ones eyes today, is that the tradition and design of these dresses are centuries old. So in a sense to own one, is as though you have also a part of the history of the holy land.
