Takchita symbolizes Moroccan tradition and innovation and it has been the pride of Moroccan women. They wear it during celebrations especially for wedding receptions. The history of takchita dates back to the Merinide Dynasty.Takchita is combination of two layers, the inner layer is just a fine fabric dress and the middle layer is just for buttoning up the uppermost layer with sfifa and akaad closures but the upper layer is richly decorated with embroidery, beads and sequins.It’s surprising that the Moroccan women still prefer Caftan in an era of modern dress.The traditional tailors trying hard and devoting their energy in creating innovative takchitas to compete in the modern fashion market. The ancient art does undergo changes mostly in cities which is not that conspicuous in the country sides. The traditional costume of city population is characterized by the sobriety of the coat of exterior (Haim and Djellaba) and the richness of the coat of interior (caftan or gandoura takchita).Although the Caftan grew to fame and majesty in Morocco under the patronage of it unique culture and civilization, the trace of history shows its origins worldwide.dress
