Palestinian Dresses Immortalize History
Eileen Shomali Al-Yateem writes:
Palestinian dresses immortalize history, heritage, and tradition of the now displaced Palestinian villages.
The “Heaven and Hell” dress was named so because it was made of red and green silk fabric and was worn for weddings and special occasions in the displaced village of Lifta and some other villages in Jerusalem.
The white dress of the bride is from the displaced village of Yazur in the Jaffa District: It was made of white fabric, mostly red, with several cheerful colors… with beautiful floral designs on the dome and sides.
