The takshita (Berber: ⵜⴽⵛⵉⵟⴰ, Arabic: تَكْشِيْطَة, alternate spellings: taqchita, tackshita, tackchita) is a Moroccan traditional women's garment that, like the Moroccan kaftan, is worn for celebrations, particularly weddings.
Structure

The upper layer is often richly adorned with embroidery, beading or sequins. Some women wear their takshita belted, with a m'damma which can also be richly adorned and usually matches the dfina.[1]
