The art of choosing colours is an essential aspect of fashion, especially when it comes to ethnic wear. Colours have the power to convey emotions, highlight features, and reflect cultural significance. The right colour choices can enhance your appearance, uplift your mood, and make a lasting impression. In this article, we will delve into the world of colour play and explore how to select the perfect hues to enrich and elevate your ethnic wardrobe.

Did you see the Mike Hatsune trend on twitter? So many Catalan Mikus!!!

I hadn't seen it! They're so cool!!

(And by the way, Miku is already Catalan 😉 the software used for her voice —Vocaloid— was created by the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona)

Dresses from the Kharga Oasis region, from Costumes of Egypt by Shahira Mehrez

The dresses of the Oasises are distinct from those of the Nile Valley, but they have similar details in their motifs, composition, and construction. Upper Egyptian Nile Valley dresses have a neckline outline of embroidery with a lozenge at the point, and a border a few inches away from that of embroidery, which fastens down the facing. This is present here (though the lozenge is sometimes omitted), and the second border is both generally enlarged, as well as having its point extended into a large diamond, which fastens down the facing. Upper Egyptian dresses also have a shoulder band, which is present here, though with different motifs. Both regions have vertically oriented lines of embroidery. The Kharga dresses have descending trefoils, chevrons, honey combs, and small crosses in common with Upper Egyptian embroidery. Though the Kharga dresses use plenty of red, it is not as predominant as it is in Upper Egypt.

Unlike Valley dresses, there is no evidence of telli being used in Kharga. Instead, faux coins are sewn on. These may be removed when dresses are sold so the original owner can keep them.

These older tob sebleh dresses are likely predecessors of the Kharga dresses, displaying similar color palettes, motifs, and composition details.
