Estimated at least from the 1930s and most possibly older. This is a family heirloom and has been adjusted after each generation. It is a cultural treasure that is museum worthy. The chest panel or \"Qabba\" and the back bottom panels are incredible. Not to mention the side panels. The sleeves have a different embroidery and there is an underarm panel in black that does not match the base of the dress. Im not sure of its exact location but I think it's from a coastal plain. This was bought at an estate sale here in Canada. I would prefer that is is sold to someone of Palestinian origin. There is none other like this online. All the others are made for stores. See last pictures for reference of Palestinian embroidery and examples that have been at the Gibson museum. \u003cbr\u003eThe Thawb is in good condition considering its age and its changes. There are some small repairs that were done over the years and just wear. Notably one repair on bottom front panel as well as some sun fading. This dress has been worn and cared for. The neckline has a slit down the middle with 3\/4 length sleeves. The body is an aline cut. Fits and measures a size S or SM or 4. Mannequin is a size 4. But please see measurements for accuracy. you have to put on over the head bc there is no zipper or button opening. \u003cbr\u003eChest across: 19\"\u003cbr\u003eShoulder acrosss: 16.5\u003cbr\u003eBody length from centre back: 50\"\u003cbr\u003eSleeve length from shoulders: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42896944398413,"sku":null,"price":3755.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/8396\/files\/IMG_4483_69720e2b-9b12-4949-9c61-1816c7189f57.jpg?v=1776719524","url":"https:\/\/www.ardithstyle.com\/products\/antique-victorian-white-cotton-lace-embroidery-pintuck-long-tiered-dress-wasp-waist-high-collar-gathered-puff-butterfly-sleeves-copy","provider":"Ardith","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
