Mustard Yellow Moroccan Djellaba with Geometric Borders

Mustard Yellow Moroccan Djellaba with Geometric Borders

This women’s Moroccan djellaba pairs a warm mustard yellow colour with geometric decoration arranged around the chest, cuffs, hood, and lower hem. Cream, rust, and dark green accents create a detailed contrast against the golden yellow background.

The silhouette is long and loose, with an attached pointed hood and a gently widening lower section. Rather than placing decoration across the entire garment, the design uses distinct patterned borders to frame its shape.

A Decorative Band Around the Hem

One of this djellaba’s most distinctive features is the broad geometric band above the lower edge. Repeated angular shapes and nested diamond forms create a continuous pattern that is visible across both the front and back.

Fine cream zigzag lines frame the band along its upper and lower edges. A separate dark trim follows the hem itself, leaving a strip of plain mustard yellow between the patterned band and the bottom edge.

This arrangement gives the lower section a defined finish. It also connects the front and rear views, so the pattern remains a prominent feature when the garment is seen from different angles.

Angular Motifs Across the Upper Front

The decoration on the chest forms a broad V-shaped arrangement on either side of the central opening. Small diamonds, stepped shapes, and contrasting linear details create an angular composition that extends toward the shoulders.

The cream outlines bring definition to the smaller motifs, while rust and dark green details add depth. The lower points of the arrangement lead toward the narrow centre trim, connecting the chest decoration with the long front line.

The neckline has a short central slit outlined in dark trim. A short row of small rounded accents continues below the opening, adding another detail to the upper front.

A Pointed Hood with a Coordinating Pattern

The hood falls to a pronounced point over the upper back. Its opening is outlined with dark edging, followed by a geometric decorative band that repeats the colours and angular shapes used elsewhere on the garment.

The main triangular section of the hood remains plain mustard yellow, making its shape easy to distinguish. Beneath the pointed tip, a narrow dark line continues down the centre back toward the hem.

This combination gives the rear view a clear structure: a decorated hood at the top, a long plain middle section, and the patterned band near the bottom.

Long Sleeves and Broad Cuffs

The long sleeves finish in slightly flared openings. A geometric band circles each lower sleeve, with cream zigzag borders framing the pattern.

Dark trim outlines the sleeve edges and connects them with the neckline, hood, and hem. The cuffs remain distinct from the plain upper sleeves, concentrating the decoration near the wrists.

The Loose Silhouette

This djellaba is shown without a belt and falls freely through the waist. The lower section widens gradually, creating an A-line outline with broad areas of uninterrupted mustard yellow.

When choosing a size, consider the shoulder position and the room needed across the bust, hips, and upper arms. The relaxed appearance should come from the garment’s intended cut and agreed measurements.

If you prefer to wear another outfit underneath, mention this when confirming the fit. Overall length should also be checked with your usual footwear in mind, particularly because the decorative hem band is a prominent part of the design.

Styling the Mustard Yellow Colour

The warm colour and geometric borders work well with simple accessories. Cream, tan, dark brown, or muted green pieces can echo the smaller colours within the pattern without adding another strong print.

For daytime visits or family gatherings, neutral flats and a plain bag create an understated combination. Small gold-tone earrings and dressier shoes can give the outfit a more polished finish for a festive meal or evening gathering.

If you wear a scarf, a plain cream or deep green shade can complement the chest decoration. Keeping nearby accessories simple allows the angular motifs and hood border to remain clearly visible.

Size Guide for a Relaxed Fit

The following measurements are an approximate body-size reference, not the finished dimensions of the djellaba. The finished garment requires additional room to achieve the loose silhouette shown.

Compare your bust, waist, and hip measurements with the table, then contact Dar Caftan to confirm the appropriate size. Shoulder width, upper-arm room, sleeve length, and overall length may need to be checked separately.

How to Measure

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back.
• Waist: Measure around your natural waist without pulling the tape tightly.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips with your feet together.

Send your actual body measurements without adding extra centimetres. Let us know whether you prefer a closer or more generous fit so the additional garment room can be agreed separately.

Custom Measurements and Length

This djellaba may be prepared according to your measurements upon confirmation. We may request your shoulder width, upper-arm circumference, sleeve length, height, and preferred garment length alongside your bust, waist, and hip measurements.

If you need a shorter or longer version, discuss the placement of the lower decorative band before preparation begins. Agreeing on both the length and the pattern position helps preserve the intended proportions of the design.

Personalising the Design

You may ask about changing the sleeve length, cuff width, hood shape, overall length, or selected decorative details. Requests to add or remove an element are considered individually.

Design changes may affect the final price and preparation time. Please contact Dar Caftan before ordering so feasibility and the final specification can be confirmed. The custom-measurement option does not automatically include additional design work.

Before Ordering

Contact Dar Caftan if you need confirmation of fabric composition, opacity, care instructions, availability, or preparation time. If you are ordering for a particular event, provide the delivery destination and required date before placing the order.

Mustard yellow and the smaller pattern colours may appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings. Review the front and back images to see the hood decoration and the patterned band around the lower section.
