Traditional Habesha Couple Outfit – Zuria (ዙርያ)

Zuria (ዙርያ) is a traditional Habesha couple's outfit crafted from soft, flowing white fabric and elegantly decorated with intricate gold and silver Tibeb (ጥልፊ) embroidery. The women's dress features a graceful floor-length silhouette with an off-shoulder neckline, sheer long puff sleeves, and a fitted bodice that flows into a full, pleated skirt. A richly embroidered vertical Tibeb panel extends from the neckline to the hem, while matching embroidery adorns the neckline, sleeve cuffs, and wide hem border, creating a refined and harmonious design. The men's outfit is tailored from matching white fabric with a stand-up collar, a long-sleeved traditional shirt, and coordinated trousers. The shirt is embellished with elegant gold and silver Tibeb embroidery running diagonally across the front, complemented by matching embroidered cuffs and collar details. The coordinated embroidery, flowing white fabric, and luxurious gold and silver accents create a timeless, sophisticated, and beautifully balanced traditional Habesha couple's ensemble. ዙርያ (ዙርያ) ናይ መጻምድቲ ባህላዊ ክዳን ካብ ለስላሳን ዝፈስስን ነጭ ጨርቂ ዝተሰርሐ ኮይኑ፣ ብወርቃዊን ብሩርን ጥልፊ ብጥንቃቐ ተሸሊሙ እዩ። ናይ ጓል ክዳን ረዥምን ብውበት ዝፈስስን ቅርጺ ዘለዎ ኮይኑ፣ ኦፍ-ሾልደር (off-shoulder) ክሳድ፣ ነዊሕ ግልጽ እጅጌታትን ተስማሚ ላዕለዋይ ክፍልን ኣለዎ። ካብ ክሳድ ክሳብ ታሕቲ ዝወርድ ብወርቃዊን ብሩርን ጥልፊ ዝተሸለመ ማእከላይ ክፍሊ ነቲ ክዳን ውቁብን ሚዛናውን ትርኢት ይህቦ። ክሳድ፣ እጅጌታትን ታሕተዋይ ወሰንን ድማ ብተመሳሳሊ ጥልፊ ተሸሊሞም እዮም። ናይ ወዲ ክዳን ካብ ተመሳሳሊ ነጭ ጨርቂ ዝተሰርሐ ኮይኑ፣ ቁሙ ክሳድ ዘለዎ ባህላዊ ነዊሕ እጅጌ ካምሻን ስረን ይሓትት። እቲ ካምሻ ብወርቃዊን ብሩርን ጥልፊ ካብ መንኩብ ናብ ታሕቲ ብዝወርድ ዲያጎናላዊ ቅርጺ ተሸሊሙ እዩ፣ ከምኡ ድማ ክሳድን እጅጌታትን ብተመሳሳሊ ጥልፊ ተሸሊሞም እዮም። እቲ ተመሳሳሊ ጥልፊ፣ ጽሩይ ነጭ ጨርቅን ወርቃዊን ብሩርን ዝርዝራትን ነቲ ናይ መጻምድቲ ክዳን ዘይሓልፍ፣ ክቡርን ውቁብን ትርኢት ይህቦ።
