Traditional Habesha Dress – Zuria (ዙርያ)

The Zuria (ዙርያ) is a graceful traditional Habesha dress known for its flowing silhouette and timeless elegance. It is crafted from soft white fabric that drapes beautifully, creating a light and refined appearance. The dress features a wide V-shaped neckline decorated with bold black and gold Tibeb (ጥበብ) embroidery, extending down the center of the dress in a striking vertical pattern. The long, sheer sleeves add a soft and elegant touch, while the matching embroidered cuffs enhance the traditional design. The hem is finished with richly woven black and gold geometric embroidery that perfectly complements the neckline and center panel. A matching Netela (ነጠላ) with embroidered borders completes the outfit, creating a harmonious and sophisticated Habesha look. The combination of flowing white fabric, detailed handcrafted embroidery, and balanced geometric patterns gives the Zuria (ዙርያ) a classic, elegant, and luxurious appearance that beautifully represents traditional Habesha fashion. ዙርያ (Zuria) ካብ ልስሉስ ጻዕዳ ጨርቂ ዝተሰርሐ ውቁብ ባህላዊ ናይ ሓበሻ ክዳን እዩ። እቲ ክዳን ሰፊሕ ናይ V ቅርጺ ክሳድ ኣለዎ፣ እዚ ድማ ብጸሊምን ወርቃውን ጥበብ ተሸሊሙ እዩ። እቲ ጥበብ ካብ ክሳድ ክሳብ ታሕቲ ክዳን ብቐጥታ ዝወርድ ውቁብ ቅርጺ ይፈጥር። እቲ ነዊሕን ግልጽን ኣእጋር እጅ ንክዳኑ ፍሉይ ጽባቐ ይውስኸሉ፣ ኣብ መወዳእታ ኣእጋር እጅ ድማ ብተመሳሳሊ ጸሊምን ወርቃውን ጥበብ ተሸሊሙ እዩ። ታሕቲ እቲ ክዳን እውን ብሓያል ጂኦሜትሪካዊ ጥበብ ዝተሰርሐ ውቁብ ድርብ ዝተሸለመ እዩ። እታ ተመሳሳሊ ጥበብ ዘለዋ ነጠላ ድማ ነቲ ምሉእ ኣልባስ ብስነ-ጥበባዊ መልክዕ ትምልኦ።
