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''.Modern interpretations
Modern interpretations of traditional Moroccan clothing, particularly the takchita, kaftan and djellaba are exhibited at the annual Caftan fashion show in Morocco and hosted by the Moroccan fashion magazine '' Femmes du Maroc''.See also
