Clothing Culture Shock

So about two days ago Nadia, Khadija and Sumiyah decided to dress Liz and I up in their traditional outfits for formal events. Apparently there are different things you have to wear to different things according to how fancy the event is (similar to a formal compared to a semi formal dress). So we're doing our final project on the different kinds of dress. Here's a pretty good idea of all the things we dressed up in:

**This is the one piece dress that would be more for parties or semi-formal things. These range from about $250 on up**

**This is the two piece dress that they would wear for much more formal events and they're much more expensive as well. This would be our equivalent to a ball gown. They wear them to weddings and such.**

**This is another set of outfits on all of us (Nadia, me, Liz) that are a mixture of the one and two piece ones.**

**These are the outfits they wear in the more southern areas. They're all one piece of fabric and they do certain dances in them. This is us pretending we know how to do the dances.**

**This is the Berber headdress that Khadija wore at her wedding. She gave us the honor of putting it on us in the like 12 different pieces. She said that every culture has a way of wearing jewelry and this is theirs. All of it is real metal (silver or gold) and it's been passed down through her family for many generations. It looks really obscure but it's beautiful in its own way."
