Sephardic/Ottoman Jewish garb

topic posted Mon, April 28, 2008 - 10:02 AM by  Edda
My household sister is exploring a new persona that celebrates her Sephardic Jewish heritage. She is very taken by some of the textiles used by Yemeni Jews in period (southern Arabic Penn.). She's thinking of creating a persona that allows her to incorporate that--maybe she's from a family originally from Yemen that moved to the Ottoman Empire after the 1492 Dispora.

I know that Jews in the Ottoman Empire and Yemen basically wore what everyone else wore, but I have no idea what that is! Does anyone know of any good resources of info on Ottoman/Yemeni clothing in the 16th century?

    i added some images from a website on the Ottoman Empire. Unfortunatly I can't remember the website since I downloaded these about three years ago when I was researching Ottoman clothing.

    hope these help.
