The kandura has a round neckline without a collar. This is the classic Emirati style. A tarboosh is the tassel that hangs from the front of an Emirati kandura. This piece has a twisted rope style tarboosh with a knot and a soft tassel at the end. It sits at the center of the chest, right below the neckline opening.

We stitch fine angled lines from the tarboosh across the chest. This stitch pattern gives shape to the front panel. We skip extra decorations as it looks odd on an authentic Emirati kandura. The sleeves are relaxed and cuffs are closed, without any buttons.

Vertical seams run down each side of the kandura. They also hide the side pocket opening. The kandura falls straight down to the ankle, with a small flare at the hem. Side slits at the base of the hem make it easier to walk and sit. We cut the hem flat and even all the way around, so you can get a sharp edge whether you are standing or walking.
