Silk and Telli embroidered dresses from Upper Egypt, Costumes of Egypt: The Lost Legacies by Shahira Mehrez.
She identifies these all as being "red" embroidery, but in many images the color reads as pink or purple instead; this could be that the dresses are old enough that the dye faded, or some struggle with photographing the color happened.
The honey comb motif is similar to medieval textile fragments. Mehrez identifies the trefoils here with the embroidery of some Coptic tunics from the Fatimid era, and notes they sometimes are used to crown saints in Coptic embroideries.
The image is of the Dendera Temple Complex in Qena/Caenopolis, Egypt. It is one of the best-preserved and most spiritually significant ancient Egyptian sites.
