These Moroccan dresses, as with many other\naspects of their culture, are the result of the contribution of different\ncivilizations that conquered this territory: the Arabs, who introduced the\nPersian Empire fashion with them, the Berbers and the Andalusians, along with\nsome European influences over the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How is the\nMoroccan Caftan?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fezluxurytours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Moroccan-Caftans.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fezluxurytours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Moroccan-Caftans.png 680w, https:\/\/www.fezluxurytours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Moroccan-Caftans-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption>Moroccan Caftans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Moroccan Caftan, as we said, has its\nroots in the Persian Empire and was introduced into North Africa by the Arab\nconquerors. The women of this country wear this garment in their daily life,\nbut especially on special occasions such as weddings and birthdays, being the\nequivalent of the Abaya of the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Moroccan Caftan (or Kaftan) is a long dress made with exquisite bright fabrics that characterize this timeless Moroccan costume. The women of the country give great importance to their caftans because they reflect their identity. The product itself can be relatively expensive, but is justified by its traditional and handmade character, making it a unique and beautiful piece. These dresses gained much popularity after being introduced to the western world by means of the great designers and brands in their clothing lines and on the catwalks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moroccan Takchita: difference with the Caftan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign designers often confuse Caftan with Moroccan Takchita, calling all of them caftan. But the truth is that they are not the same, and so the local designers and women who wear this typical Moroccan costume specify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fezluxurytours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/e1b95d219b1b72c215e75d965e93bea49bd625d369056b1d6d6628169cb5a0df.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-135\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fezluxurytours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/e1b95d219b1b72c215e75d965e93bea49bd625d369056b1d6d6628169cb5a0df.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fezluxurytours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/e1b95d219b1b72c215e75d965e93bea49bd625d369056b1d6d6628169cb5a0df-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption>Tekchita<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Moroccan Takchita is a two piece dress.\nThe first layer is called Tahtiya, which resembles a simple traditional Caftan,\nwithout ornaments. The second layer is a Fouqia or Dfina, something like an\nopen and transparent Caftan with a lot of beautiful embroidery and\nembellishments. Takchita is usually worn with a Mdamma (belt), whether silk,\ngold or silver decorated with precious stones such as diamonds, rubies,\nsapphires and emeralds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, as we have seen, the Moroccan Caftan\nis a one-piece dress that is generally worn freely, without a Mdamma or belt.\nThe typical Moroccan costume is also often referred to as Malakiya or\nMakhzaniya, in reference to the traditional Fassi dress worn by the princesses\nof the royal family. For all that, it is a timeless classic style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Moroccan dresses are loved by people\nof all ages and social backgrounds, so it has progressed naturally and hand in\nhand with modernity.
