How do you choose your cloth?
Before colour, think about your day. Where will you wear your dishdasha, and how would you like it to feel?
Begin with how you wear it
Everyday wear and special occasions ask different things of a garment. Decide what matters to you: a lighter feel, a more defined drape, or easier care. Use those priorities to start a conversation with your tailor.
Look at the cloth in the light
Shades of white can look similar on a screen. Ask to see a swatch in daylight, feel the weave and notice its drape. A photograph alone cannot establish its feel, thickness or opacity.
Ask about composition and care
Confirm the actual fibre composition and approved garment-care instructions. Do not assume every white fabric can be washed or ironed in the same way. Keep the care label and check it before laundering.
