The takshita (Berber: ⵜⴽⵛⵉⵟⴰ, Template:Lang-ar, 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 takshita is composed of two pieces, a dress as a first layer called tahtiya, often of fine but not ornately decorated fabric, and a more elaborate second layer or over-dress that often buttons up the front using the traditional sfifa and akaad closures and it is called dfina. 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]
