Traditional Moroccan Clothing

the tackchita is perhaps the most formal and beautiful ladies’ garment. It is not an item for everyday wear, but is reserved for special occasions such as weddings.

As with fancy kaftans, the tackchita often has stunning designs and details. A two-piece item of clothing, it has an under-dress and an over-dress.

The over-dress is generally a lot more patterned and detailed than the under section, and a wide belt is worn over the two pieces to make it more fitted around the waist.

Usually fitted around the top and cinched in at the waist, the tackchita then flows to the ground in a majestic manner.

The top later may button up the front completely, or may be buttoned only to the waist, allowing the lower part of the under-dress to show through.
