The tantour headdress was popular among Lebanese noblewomen. The elegant dress is an ankle-length gambaz, made in coat style of silk brocade shot with silver threads. Its long sleeves widen below the elbow, where they are slit to hang free. This gambaz is slit at the sides from the hips down, forming three panels of the skirt. A long shift (shirt) of silk gauze is worn under it.

Not shown in the photo: The silk underpants are very full pantaloons in the Turkish style and are gathered onto rings at the ankles. The costume is completed by gold embroidered leather slippers with turned-up pointed toes.
