Bethany Dress
This 20-page pattern
booklet is a newly-published edition of the original 1977
fold-out poster. The Bethany Dress is a traditional Palestinian
wedding dress with elaborately embroidered bodice panel (called
Qabbeh). The booklet includes complete color-coded cutting
diagrams, traditional embellishment instructions and embroidery
stitch directions, a full-size bodice embroidery design, plus
updated supply resources. There are no actual pattern pieces,
but because the dress is "assembled" like a quilt from
straight-sided strips, it is very easy to follow the cutting
diagrams and to adjust for individual sizes.
