De Haëdo described the Ghlila as being made from velvet, satin or damask, featuring a wide neckline secured with silver or gold buttons and falling mid-length. At the beginning of the 19th century the Algerians wore a low cut Ghlila which stopped at the height of the hips consisting of short sleeves, a single button and gold threads.

Velvet
Weave details visible on a purple-colored velvet fabric Velvet is a type of woven tufted fabric in which the cut threads are evenly distributed, with a short pile, giving it a distinctive soft feel. By extension, the word ''velvety'' means "smooth like velvet". In the past, velvet was typically made from silk. Today, velvet can be made from linen, cotton, wool and synthetic fibers. Construction and composition left, Illustration depicting the manufacture of velvet fabric Velvet is woven on a special loom that weaves two thicknesses of the material at the same time. The two pieces are then cut apart to create the pile effect, and the two lengths of fabric are wound on separate take-up rolls. This complicated process meant that velvet was expensive to make before industrial power looms became available, and well-made velvet remains a fairly costly fabric. Velvet is difficult to clean because of its pile, but modern dry cleaning methods make cleaning more feasible. Velv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
