My Qaba

Description

I loved to wear clothes like what I see in Iranian miniature paintings. So with help from my mom we designed this, mixing different part of clothes from different paintings. And my mom finished making the clothes yesterday :iconhamtaroplz23:
The garment worn on the tunic is called "Qaba" or "Ghaba قبا" I think, but I don't know the name of other parts. Please tell me if you do :D
We decided to make the sleeves like Qajar sleeves and use the clothes with paisley pattern which was used much at that time.
The decoration of the collars in the past was almost like a half of a Shamse (Almost similar to what you see in my avatar, but with rounder angles) .However we decided to use this current shape because it's more common today.

The colors aren't vibrant like this. I photoshoped them :iconcreepyonionplz: because I wanted them like this, but you'll be the limelight in my small town if you wear clothes with nice and pure colors :( It seems to be a funeral here, everybody wearing black and brown :iconfoxcryplz:. The clothes were so beautiful in the past and it was like you are a part of nature when you wore those nice cheerful clothes on, but now ...

Fortunately my dear mom is open-minded and has an artistic soul, she doesn't want me to wear dark clothes !

If you wanted to see some more paintings with people wearing Qabas look here:

and please tell me anything you know about traditional and local clothes. thanks:iconmonkeyclap:
