this is the design of one of the oldest designs for the Bedouin Thobe or dress, its proportions are huge, but the Bedouin women would fold and hitch it to brooches or tie and overlap it in such a way that it would be practical and worn for everyday work in the fields or herding sheep.The folds are usually used as pockets.
