All these pictures were taken at the Etnographic Museum near the Blue Mosque and Blue Türbe.

Lower half of a urban wedding dress in ‘bindallı entari’-style, adorned with gold thread embroidery on silk. (You’ll find the upper half on another picture). First half of the 20th century.
‘Bindallı entari’ means: ‘robe with thousand branches’, because the decorative motifs on the robe consist mainly of branches with leaves and flowers.
The silver glitter festoons you see, are hanging down from the headgear.
