notes: label: Description
content: Green mesh straight-sided dress with green sequins. Sequins are in rows of five in a curving pattern running from top to about 15" from scalloped hem. At that point sequins are arranged in a stylized floral pattern with metallic decorative stitching. Neckline is slightly rounded and large enough for the head to go through; no zipper, buttons, darts, or pockets. Very long sleeves; the first 8.5" of sleeve have sequins on outside of fabric; at that point the rest of the sleeve is attached "inside out" so that the sequined side is inside as the sleeves will be pulled back and up to show the decoration. Second part of sleeve is left open for ease of folding it back. Dress is part of an Iraqi Kurdish's woman's traditional outfit.
