Dress



Turkmen Traditional Clothes
    Dress in Turkmenistan is a little similar Central Asian costume. Styles and designs of clothing are very beautiful and long. The four basic colors of traditional Turkmen dresses are red, black, yellow, and white. Borders of scarves, as well as collars, hems and sleeves of coats are decorated with highly characteristic embroidery. Red dresses are most favored by women, while the base color of their upper clothes changes to black, then yellow, then white, as the weaver become older.
   The modern Turkmen women's costume includes a colorful, three-quarter-length jacket, or caftan, over a fairly tight-fitting dress with narrow sleeves and a little stand-up collar. The front panel, center front edges, and neckline of the dress are outlined in white embroidery. The jacket's front edge, hem, and bottom of the sleeves are decorated with velvet bands, metal disks, and beads.
   Today in Turkmenistan people wear a mixture of modern Western dress and traditional costume. The most complete version of the traditional costume can be seen during national holidays or special occasions, such as wedding ceremonies.
