Photo of an panel of text about the colours used in the embroidery. "Red is the colour with which Palestinian embroidery is most strongly associated and different regions were known for particular shades. Ramallah and Jaffa areas favoured wine-red thread, women from Hebron preferred burnt sienna, and Gazan embroiderers a scarlet fuschia. Such beautiful embroidery could provoke the evil eye or invite misfortune (as perfection might "tempt fate"), women would introduce touches of "imperfection" to their work, often in the form of a mismatching colour".

A black embroidered dress, around the bottom from perhaps the knee down are rows of blue motifs. The chest panel is intricate mostly red stitched "Qamar wa qalayed" motif, this is a Bedouin motif meaning moon and necklaces, it is a diamond shaped pattern.

Photo of 3 embroidered Palestinian outfits. 1 white with ornate embroidery around the chest/neckline and strips of stitching down the outer leg area, the embroidery is mostly red. Another white dress has three quarter length embroidered sleeves, with a larger area embroidered down the outer leg, and a very intricate embroidered area over the chest area. The other dress is a very dark blue with very ornate, full embroidered chest area and dense stitching down the outer leg.
