THE DRESS ODETTE
THE DRESS ODETTE
$0.00
Let’s imagine Odette Touitou, a young lady in the sixties, in Tunisia.
This dress was both her beachwear and her morning dress.
It’s one of the most beautiful memories I have of my mother, simple and elegant.
This “little” traditional dress worn at home, along with the «fadhila» knitwear, the “Takrita” headscarf - that women farmers traditionally tie over their heads- were the favorite outfits of the modern ladies at that time, as to underline a link between their identity, the tradition and a modern way of wearing them. I’ve adapted this traditional dress using blue chambray and grey chambray shirt material.
Material : 100% cotton
Style :
Blue chambray version
