Museum of Saudi Arabian Costume online

[dragonyphoenix]

Last night we were discussing traditional costumes - triangles of contrasting colors sewn onto outfits - that distinguished home location / family line. Today I ran aross a link to this in my Tumblr feed: The tribespeople of Wadi Mahram, separated by only a few kilometres, wear similar dress but with details that distinguish each branch of the tribe from the others.

bookmarked thank you! I had no idea there was a museum of saudic costume - and that's an area where I am woefully uneducated.
