Coming up with judean native embroidery is so hard considering there's so many cultures with cultural clothes and embroidery patterns out there, and i want to make it original and unique to us, jews, the hebrews. it is SO difficult BECAUSE almost every embroidery patterns has already been invented somehow somewhere and have been for hundreds of years while i started only like 2 months ago and i have specifically been into cross stitch(its actually pretty fun) which also limits me when it comes to patterns

I want to give it jewish uniqueness BESIDES the usual magen david, menorah and חי.

I want to base is off of many other things like historical everts, symbols, fruits, geography, traditions, land etc

For example: an embroidery pattern that resembles the 4 fruits of sukot. A pattern that portrays the split sea or burning bush. A pattern that symbolises the cohanim, beit hamikdash, the 12 tribes and zodiacs. A pattern that resembles the fruits that important in judaism(pomegranates, olives, dates, figs etc) based on holidays and the bible. Hamsa embroidery ideas. Embroidery patterns based on mosaics found in synagogues all around the world.

I have been trying to gather so much information, mosaics, jewish art, ancient art etc to try and base off, which again is SUPER hard cosidering most of the stuff we created got destroyed, looted or stolen (my grandma had to leave all the embroidery she did when her family got kicked out and she managed to salvage only a napkin and an apron)

Anyway i try my best to create a traditional judean dress with jewish rikma. That said, I'll need help so if any of you have patterns or ideas(jewelery too) it will be incredible 🙏🏻

So I do not yap on to long a quick summary!

I adore cultural and historical dress, it's something I find just so intresting and I am really really wanting to make a illustrated informational book at somepoint with traditional dress from all over the world, which requires aloottttt of research and im finding it difficult to start said research and am wanting a place to jump off from and also learn about dress I have no clue about.

So I made

✨️✨️this✨️✨️

google from, it only has 2 required questions and (5 or 6 I have forgotten) questions overall, so if you or someone you know would find this interesting, filling it out would be much appreciated:D

Nothing about said book is set in stone yet and is just an idea rn, but I really wanna start researching so at some point it could be a reality

Is there any significance to the headscarves that Romani people sometimes wear? I saw a webtoon called The Witch and The Bull (the witch characters look like stereotypical Romani people) and I realized that it is in some depictions like in Mystic Arcana but not always.

Yes, actually, and I'm glad you asked! We see these specific types of headscarves all the time in depictions of Romani people, but we don't see much of the cultural context. The image of a Romani woman with her hair tied or covered by a scarf is so ubiquitous that the scarf itself has become something of a visual shorthand for Romani womanhood, and all of the stereotypes that are unfortunately attached. That's why they're so pervasive with witches and fortunetellers in media.

So, what's the real deal?

The scarves worn in traditional Romani dress are usually called dikhlo, but the spelling may vary depending on your region or community. Dikhlo can be worn in a variety of styles, and they aren't just limited to head coverings. In Calé culture (that's me 👋🏼) similar garments are worn around the shoulders like a shawl, and in some communities, men wear them around their necks like kerchiefs or, well, like scarves. Dikhlo are often made out of printed or patterned textiles-- floral motifs, particularly, roses, are especially common. Like many elements of Romani culture, these aesthetic motifs and clothing styles can be traced back to the diaspora's origins in South Asia.

When used as a head covering, dikhlo primarily serve as modesty wear. In some cases, there is also a sanitary element to covering or binding the hair, as cleanliness and practicality are factors in many elements of Romani culture.

Different communities have different customs and expectations about this sort of thing, so there is no one set of rules for who has to cover their hair, or when, but it is primarily reserved for women. In many communities, married women were traditionally expected to cover their hair outside of the home, and the dikhlo itself was worn in particular styles to reflect marital status.

These traditions are still in practice, but as I understand it, modern generations are a lot more relaxed with these customs. Nowadays, many people choose to wear dikhlo simply as an expression of their cultural identity. Romani cultural dress is frequently appropriated, and Romani cultural expression is often heavily policed, so, in that context, yes, there is quite a bit of significance to this garment. I do wish more people understood this context, because if they did, the dikhlo probably wouldn't be used in such a stereotypical, appropriative fashion by gadjekane artists.

Hey, I'm currently working on a series of culturally-inspired witches, and I'd like suggestions on what to do! So far I have scottish, japanese, metis, and ukrainian!

(Also, im wondering if it would be offensive to portray a predominantly muslim cultural dress as a witch? I wanted to do a palestinian witch but im worried it would do more harm than good °^° )

Namitha Pramod: A Vision in Biking Red

Imagine Namitha Pramod turning heads in a head-to-toe showstopper from Samyakk. The saree is a bold and vibrant biking red, the color itself exuding confidence and energy. This fiery hue is further accentuated by intricate sequin embroidery, catching the light and creating a dazzling display. The sequins could be strategically placed in a captivating design, perhaps geometric patterns or delicate floral motifs.

Organza’s Ethereal Touch

The magic lies in the fabric itself. Samyakk’s signature organza drapes beautifully on Namitha’s form, showcasing the exquisite embroidery while maintaining a light and airy feel. The sheerness of the organza adds a touch of mystery and elegance, perfectly complementing the bold red color.

Modern Drape with a Hint of Tradition

The Designer Saree is draped in a modern style, perhaps with the pallu (end drape) flowing gracefully over one shoulder. This contemporary twist highlights Namitha’s fashion-forward sense. However, a hint of tradition could peek through with a beautifully embellished border in gold or another contrasting color, adding a touch of cultural richness.

Completing the Look

To complement this dazzling ensemble, Namitha might opt for minimal jewelry. A pair of statement earrings that echo the color of the sequins or a delicate necklace could add the perfect finishing touch. Her makeup would likely be flawless, with a focus on bold red lips that tie in with the saree’s color and smoky eyes that enhance her captivating gaze.

Overall Impact

Namitha Promod in this exquisite biking red sequins embroidered organza saree would be a vision of modern elegance with a touch of cultural flair.
