The Heaven & Hell Thobe
from the town of Tubas, Nablus district. The fabric is woven in Al-Majdal as well as Damascus (Al-Sham). Women in this region do not rely on heavy embroidery, but rather celebrate the sheer beauty of the fabrics used. The elegance of this thobe shines through the quality, texture, and colors of its textiles, which are thoughtfully echoed in the embroidery of the chest panel (Qabbeh).
Referenced from the book "Dresses Colored by the Sun" (Athwab Lawwanatha Al-Shams), the final two photos highlight the Sweisah stitch—a simple decorative stitch used to join two different types of fabric together. Meanwhile, the Raqmeh embroidery motifs on the chest represent the Damascus Road, traditional domes, and olive oil soap stacks (Shakhhat Al-Saboun).
The thobe is made in one size fits all according to the original traditional Palestinian thobe cut, and it has the following measurements;
Length = 150 cm = 59 inch.
Chest width = 59 cm = 23 inches.
Sleeves opening length shoulder down = 80 cm = 31.5 inch
