26 - Etiya’s Etek
 
This beautiful embroidered or braid trimmed jacket is copied from those worn by Algerian dancers in the middle 19th century. These would be outstanding made in velvet, satin, or heavy brocade. We show two versions — knee length and bolero length both with a full draped sleeve. A gusset under the arms allows more freedom when dancing . Instructions included for Shisha “mirror embroidery.” Separate cutting lines for small, medium and large on same pattern.

This blouse may be worn under any of the vests and boleros or under the Ghawazee coat. May be made hip length to tuck into harem pants or full length to be worn over harem pants and under the fitted bodice coats. Looks best when made in a sheer fabric - chiffon, cotton vole, batiste or lining fabric. Three variations shown. One size fits all.

28 - Farida’s Folk Chemise
 
The traditional robe of the Middle East and North Africa usually made in a homespun, heavy fabric in plain color or wide stripes, and often heavily embroidered at the yoke, on the body, hem and sleeves. For dancing, a lighter weight material such as cotton or polyester blend lining fabric might be more comfortable. Embroidered trim may be done by hand or machine. The chemise may be closed down the front, or pulled back to leave the mid ruff bare. Separate cutting lines for small, medium and large given on same pattern.

29 - Cemiyeh’s Caftan
 
The traditional caftan is a long, coat like garment with long sleeves worn throughout the countries near the Eastern Mediterranean. Usually made of a beautiful fabric in striped or brocaded silk, velvet or cotton. It may be held by a cummerbund or hizzaam wrapped around the waist. The sides may be left open to the hip and worn over harem pants, or sewn closed and worn alone. The bottom, neckline and sleeve edges may be trimmed with woven braid or embroidery. A fun variation: Trim with multi-color ribbon streamers sewn across the shoulders, the ends hanging loose at front and back. Separate cutting lines for small, medium and large given on same pattern.

30 - Duriyya’s Djellaba
 
A modern rendition of a native Moroccan caftan-like robe with long, loose raglan sleeves. The traditional djellaba is the age-old hooded cloak of North Africa and the Near East and our version makes a wonderful cover-up for your belly dance costume. Make it in a knit velour trimmed with braid, a brocade trimmed with velvet ribbon or a lightweight wool. You might even try brightly patterned velvet finish bath towels for a different look. Separate cutting lines for small, medium and large given on same pattern.
