Susan Muaddi Darraj, "Wondering what all the symbols mean on Palestinian thobes? The 2nd half of Leila ElKhalidi's book has a "dictionary"!..."
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on the significance of wearing a Palestinian thobe:
"As a young girl, I watched my mother hand stitch thobes while sitting
on the floor with a lamp at her side. She would make the small designs
of flowers and different shapes. Just thinking about it brings up so
many memories of my mother and how proud she was of being Palestinian."
