This 1970s tahriri stitch dress is playful and distinctly groovy. Crafted from elegant cobalt blue colored stretch polyester, it features beautiful hand embroidered tahriri work with a lovely silver cord. A palm motif runs down the front, while a feather motif frames the neckline.
The dress is shaped with soft pleating at the waist, a hallmark of 1970s silhouettes, creating a flattering cinched look. It includes a back zipper closure, slight bell sleeves, and a small front slit for ease of movement.
Garments like this were produced in Palestinian co-ops, where embroidery was adapted into modern styles for life in diaspora. We are honored to offer this piece of Palestinian co-op fashion in our shop.
