Wow!All are excellent.
Look at this one(Iran)All cities have special dresses here and even all villages...I never can learn them.

I love them!!
though the last one I can't see it,, and lana's too,

hm.. I couldn't find many, but here is the Kuwaiti bride in the past:


and her hands:


and this the Bahraini Bride:


and in Emarites:


men's :


now they all wear white dresses for sure

wow...there all lovely...but i never understood why women wore those big golden things on their faces...whats that for? and whats it called?

u meant on Emirtes? hm..... I think to hide the uglines! lol :P
no... it's traditional,, and it's called Burqa`a ,, hm... ask Ricardo22 :P surly she know more, cus she's from there,

women in Saudi Arabia nowadays wear whatever they want .. but when they go out in the streets or malls they must wear something called 'Abaya' above their clothes .. it's something like a black cloth which looks like a dress and covers our bodies .. and we wear scarfs to cover our hair and some women cover their faces too .. it's a tradition we follow here in the kingdom .. and when a girl become in a certain age she must follow that .. and also because god told us to cover our hair from men who aren't our fathers, brothers, grandfathers and uncles.

the traditional abaya is black, and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head, or a long caftan. The abaya covers the whole body except the face, feet, and hands.

this is a pic for abaya .. it could be in deferents shapes ..





and for men .. the traditional dress for men is 'Thaob' which could be white in summer and black or brown in winter .. with a white cloth called 'gutra' .. they cover there heads with it cuz of the hot climate and sun

this is a famous singer in KSA wearing it



there is also another kind called 'Shomag' which is red

http://desargroup.net/SHB_L_copy.JPG

also we have some thing called 'Besht' .. men wear it in occasions .. and long ago brids in one of saudi arabia reigons wore it in their wedding night



but ofcourse .. guys especially youth wear casual clothes nowadays .. jeans & t-shirts

I love earing the Abaya!! but cus I'm young,I wear it only if I don't feel like I want to change my clothes! :P , few years later.. in age hm.. 18! I'll start to wear it daily cus I know that waking up for college won't allow me to have time for choosing what to wear!

but I really love it!
here I'm wearing it:.

= we wear them in Kuwait too,,

my brother used to wear regular clothes, but since college he turned to wear the Deshdashah! (what the singer was wearing),, cus it's faster, just like I said, u wear them when u have no time for choosing what to wear :P

really .. i didn't know that you waer abaya in kuwait .. i thought it is worn only in saudi arabia, UAE, and Qatar .. :huh:

I think you should add Bahrain and Oman too :P ,, Arabian Gulf countries are 6! right? ,, in the 6 countries we wear the same + think the same... :rolleyes:

what was that song? "7'aleejona wa7ed wa sha3bona wa7ed" = our gulf is one and our people are one! :D & our clothes are one :lol:

can I ask from what city you are? (my saudi family live in Al-Sharqeyah)

yeah we are similar in almost everything .. but i think in kuwait it's more free than other gulf countries .. about abayas .. i was really shocked when u told me that u wear it there .. cuz i always see kuwaiti women wearing clothes & scarfs :P

anyway .. i'm from the capital .. Riyadh :D

No you didn't understand me...i know what an abaya is obviously but i dont know what that golden thing is called ....you know the thing they wear on their faces...not the abaya....

Zar!! :o

I think I have answered it :rolleyes:

LOL! My bad :lol:
