I have not worn the Moroccan caftan before, but I love this style very much and I hope that the opportunity will allow me to wear it one day. In my opinion, it is like a dress that gives the girl a touch of femininity and softness, but rather gives her elegance and dignity that deserves admiration and appreciation. Delicate details, rich embroidery, elegant belts that define the waist, and other aspects of the Moroccan caftan, distinguish any woman who wears it and makes it like a princess. Myriam Belkhayat is one of the Arab designers who possesses a wonderful artistic sense, and perhaps unique in the design of the Moroccan caftan and the elegant women gowns that veiled women are searching for from all over the Arab world. In her latest collection of Moroccan clothes, Myriam Belkhayat shows us a wonderful, rich and modern bouquet of Moroccan caftans called "Aroma" or Shaza Al Arab. It is distinguished by its modern and innovative designs as it combined different fabrics and materials in one piece, like everyone between satin, lace and chiffon.

And the caftan is found in Morocco only and its manufacture is done by Moroccans, but this does not prevent that every woman can do a little hard work and make a caftan in her country.

Usually the caftan consists of two pieces and is of the same color or two different colors, and it is better to have the same color provided that the color of the upper piece is lighter than the bottom.

And the kaftan is long, unlike the high dresses, and it is fulfilled in terms of length, because we work to calculate the waist belt and it is necessary to reach the ground.

The caftan cries on the size in terms of the waist, but the higher the length, the more it begins to increase. One of the advantages of the Moroccan caftan is embroidery. It is possible to choose according to what is available in each country and the preferred form for you.

It was mentioned in the book "The History of Tetouan" for the historian "Muhammad Dawud" the message of Sultan Abdul Rahman bin Hisham (and it was mentioned in references in the royal messages exchanged between Sultan Muhammad bin Hisham and the leader of Tetouan Ashash indicating the wearing of the Tetouans to the caftan, including: Ashash is to pay the horses of the people of Tetouan, who come from our presence a caftan file, for each one of them. ”) This indicates that we are the ones who gave the caftans to those who came to the city of Tetouan from the Algerians. Wrong, and I will explain it in my subsequent articles, and we will reveal a great deal about the gloom of the Algerians in trying to attribute a piece of our heritage to them.

And a number of foreign painters, including French and Spanish, painted Moroccan women wearing the Moroccan caftan in several paintings. Among the painters who created these paintings, we mention Jean-François Portaels, who have mastered the drawing of beautiful portraits of Aouissia Moresque in the Moroccan caftan in the city of Tangier, Also Eugène Delacroix, who also created paintings in the rest of Morocco, displaying in his paintings the various traditional clothes worn by Moroccan women.

According to some ancient researchers in Moroccan history, the caftan was made during the reign of the Marinid dynasty and was worn only by the Marinid sultans without the common people, and the legacies of this custom, the dynasties that ruled Morocco to the Sa’dis at the time, became available for wearing by the commoners from the Moroccans and those men were The country and this point was mentioned in the book “The Algerians in Tetouan Page 127” “As for its spread and popularity in Moroccan society, it started in the era of the Sa’idis” and it was mentioned after the message of Sultan Abdul Rahman bin Hisham addressed to the worker of Tangier Ashash, these references and drawings that I review Before you in this article, you prove that the caftan is 100% Moroccan.

Moroccan women have been adorning this painting called kaftan alone for centuries, until it finally came out of its geographical borders to global in the nineties of the last century. This was thanks to the organization of shows that promote Moroccan caftans, where the Moroccan senior designers and teachers have mastered presenting distinctive designs that produced the modern Moroccan caftans. There are many international designers captured by the Moroccan caftan such as Kenzo, John Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix.

The Moroccan caftan is a one-piece dress, and is usually worn loosely without a belt, unlike the "takchita" consisting of two to three pieces and is worn with a belt. The Moroccan caftan is based on its luxurious fabrics, which are decorated with Moroccan hand embroidery such as Rabat (relative to the city of Rabat) or Fassi (relative to Fez). In addition to decorating it with stones, without forgetting the most important process, which is what is called in Morocco, "teacher service" in relation to craftsmen spinning silk, silver or gold threads, which made Moroccan caftan models very diverse. The most beautiful colors of Moroccan cafes bold red, blue, green and yellow.

The caftan of Morocco is one of the oldest traditional clothes, as it dates back to the era of Moroccan Sultan Ahmed Al-Mansour Al-Dhahabi. Then it spread in Andalusia, according to some researchers, thanks to the music "Ziryab" at the beginning of the ninth century. The first appearance of the caftan was in the well-known Moroccan cities such as: Kfas, Tetouan, Rabat, among the Moors, who were Moroccans expelled from Andalusia in the fifteenth century. Soon the Moroccans began exporting thousands of pieces of Moroccan clothing (the caftan) to Portugal, as the queen was in love with that dress.
